George "Skip" Haney Water pumps

[~~Walts37~~]

If I ever have a overheat problem I may send them to skip but the ones I got from Macs for my 59 ab have been doing a perfect job for me for the last 4 years. (Fingers crossed) ~~Walts37~~

What sort of $$$ (ballpark)??

I have one of skips overflow valves on my 32 Ford and 29 Packard, they work great and solved the overflow problem.

[Bassman/NZ]

Not trying to start a riot, but how do Speedway and Drakes pumps compare to Skips? The reason I ask is they are both already available here in New Zealand.

Bassman, I had THE Walt Dupont rebuild my 59AB, the drake pumps I had were off a 1/2 hole to bolt on the block. We shipped my originals to skip and a week later they were back!! I've since returned the drake pumps, when I find a decent orig. pair of pumps I will send those out for a future motor. Listening to folk's on the barn, not much beat the original part. Drake has fixed the prob. W/the pumps. They were great to deal with!!

I've had Skip rebuild two coils and two distributors (I always carry a spare, or in this case loaners). Very pleased with the quality and turn around time. LouB.

The Model A only overheated when we used it to power a cord wood saw.Lack of foward motion may have done it but a thermostat stopped the overheating.The Ford never overheated when worked in hot weather.A friends father ran a sawmill with an A engine until he bought a new tractor.There were 4 Model A powered cord wood saws cutting firewood in the early 60s near me.I helped Joe Ribero saw wood with his A powered saw in 1964.He told me me you had to use a thermostat to avoid boiling.

All 3 39 Fords has skip water pumps and his coils. Very happy with his work. Seen his shop and he enjoys his work very much.I got two waterpumps for the 35 to snd him for rebuild.Only place to go in my book.

The single biggest difference when starting your flathead is a coil rebuilt by Skip...He's the best...

36 coupe, You just don't GET IT even after all these years. Number one an "A" motor isn't like a V/8 and never had over heating problems. The reason the "A" motor over heated was the water was pumped out the over flow and got REAL LOW on water and BOILED over. The thermostat RESTRICTED and SLOWED the flow of water with a LESS WATER LOST out the overflow BUT STILL LESS WATER THAN A FULL radiator. With a LITTLE MORE WATER in the system BUT STILL NOT FULL the engine RAN HOTTER THAN IT WOULD FULL OF WATER ALL THE TIME but did not boil over. If you had SKIPS PRESSURE VALVE it would have ran in the normal range and you could have SAWED WOOD ALL DAY without FOOLING AROUND with a hot engine. PLease read this several times and maybe you can understand it. This is the SAME THING that happens on the V/8s when MODERN thermostats are installed in temperatures over 85. Also you may want to read the PROVEN results from many others that use a WORKING pressure cap or Skips valve. One persons VISSIONS are no where equal to HUNDREDS of of reported feild results. Also the stock "A" pump provides plenty of cooling water flow and needs no improvement, where the stock 32 to 53 pumps do not provide enough flow. Your 36 pumps deliver 55 gallons each in 5 minutes where Skips 32 to 36 pumps deliver 92 gallons, again ask the several thousand users and get the REAL PROVEN results. G.M.

Ive only heard GOOD things about "SKIPs" pumps...

and now after reading this thread...

can confirm a bunch of others have have had good results...cool

[Mike..Yorba Linda]

Two pumps and a coil......fantastic....

[Cecil/WV]

Six pumps and a coil, no complaints.

[lucky]

I have a 38 cpe with a 53 engine and late truck waterpumps.

My question is your website shows modified impellers on the early engines, is this the case with the late truck pumps?

thanks, marvin
