I've been looking for the correct water pump for my 35 Cabriolet. Is there a difference between a 34 and a 35 passenger side water pump? I know the 34 starts with a 40-XXXX part number and the 35 has a 48-XXXX part number. Are the angles of the neck different? Did the 34 pump carry over to 35 without a part number change? Thanks for helping me in my restoration. Regards, Richard

The same water pumps, 68-8502, were used from '32-'36. To my knowledge, they are not being reproduced. If you have a rebuildable pump, it can be sent to Skip Haney or C&G. There are also rebuild kits available, but the job is best left to a pro who has the correct tools and experience.

The LS water pump has a hole with treads for the water temp gauge, the right side does not, it might be also different in a std and deluxe models ,and would have a 48 prefix number. if FORD maked them, were you could see, check the parts books before you make a decision, my 3 cents worth 37RAGTOPMAN

I found a good rebuildable pump at a swap meet last weekend. It has a 40-XXXX part number and the original grease fitting and cap. According to Supereal, my $5 investment was a wise purchase. I will send it out for rebuilding and leave it to someone with more experience. Thanks for the help. Regards, Richard

Supereal, I have to disagree with your statements on '32-'36 water pumps. '32 pumps had long necks and carried part numbers 18-8501/8502. '33-'34 had shorter necks and carried part numbers 40-8501/8502. '35 to early '36 carried numbers 48-8501/8502. Late '36 carried part number 68-8501/8502. 68-xxxx can also be used from '32-'35 but they would not be show correct. Also, Harry Fryer was reproducing some of the '32-'36 water pumps with new CI housings. I am not sure if his son still does this after he took over the business.

JM, I did notice that the part numbers were deeply cast into the housing compared to other pumps I have seen. Some have a faint casting almost like a stamping or etching. Could this deeper, more pronounced stamping be a reproduction? The left pump I have has a 48-XXXX part number with a faint stamping. Do you know how many vendors produced water pumps for Ford at this time? Multiple vendors might explain the difference in stamping styles. Thanks, Richard

I should have qualified my posting by saying that the 68 prefix appears to be the only one now used for repair and replacement. Granted, they are not "show correct", and anyone seeking absolutely "correct" pumps will have to start the "treasure hunt" for the earlier 18 and 40 pieces. I haven't seen any repros, nor any at the big swap meets in our area.

Attached is a photo of the water pumps before and after having Skip rebuild them. I did not find any identification numbers. Are these correct '34 pumps? http://snipurl.com/1y8igd Bill Brown '34 Cabriolet

Bill, The pumps that you show are 1936 universal replacement pumps. They will fit on either side of the engine. While they will function perfectly, they are not correct for your 34 (if you are having it point judged). 34 pumps will not have an outlet for the temperature gauge on either pump and the lubricator fitting will not be angled towards the back of the pump. There will also be only one tapped hole on each pump for the lubricator fitting and it will face outwards towards the fender.

The correct water pumps for a 34 will have the 40-xxxx part number cast in the body. Replacement (aftermarket) pumps will not have the part number.
