Water pump

Post by Brent Teltow » Sun Apr 28, 2019 7:15 pm

Good evening, I have a speedster with a electric fan on it. Did they make a water pump that goes on the top radiator neck? It has a 12volt alternator on the side a water pump would go. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks Brent

Do not know why you would need an electric fan even with high performance, but to each their own. The alternator mounts normally are higher than any water pump system unless someone made a homemade system. There were some weird ones here and their but the only one I found to move the volume was a 1932-36 Ford V8 one adapted for the water neck at the radiator. You might want to find an old Atlas water pump or a Bergs works well.

All the Best,

There was maybe one other, the name I do not recall. I think they made a 26/27 style too, but most were 25 back.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:
