Day 2 parts discussion

[John Brown]

Here is the replacement pump I got from Holley, the blue one. It was rated at 14 pounds pressure and required the regulator. The earlier (very much new) red one let me down at an IHRA points meet when it would only pump when it was cool. My original one was red, but now 40 years later I'm shocked to find that my Holley rep would have lied to me about the color change thing (sneaky old salesmen anyway). At this late date I can't recall if the red one had the regulator or not. Anyway, this pump is what I used from around 1972 on, on many of my drag race stocker and not so stock racers. The bracket appears to be of the silver variety underneath the layer of "patina".

Here is a picture of the rubber in a new style Holley pump. Would anyone care to remove the bottom plate on one of the old ones and see if it's the same? If so, I could get a nos pump and buy the rebuild kit for the rubber piece.

I've had to soak the pump bushing every once in a while on my blue pump. If not, it would lock up with heat.

I do mod them though with this:

Red one was non adjustable and never came with a regulator. It really was just a electric version of a stock OEM mechanical pump with some extra gph boost.

Wow, another one painted all blue....really an early one.

Since I was working part time at a local friendly speed shop, I got it warrantied directly by the Holley rep. I'd never compared paint jobs or bracket colors before and was suprised when I pulled if off a basement shelf and saw that it had been all blue originally and had the silver mounting bracket. No, I'm really not a packrat or anything..... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

There is a Mr Gasket Guzzler pump on Ebay. Here is a link.

That's the coolest!
Have you been searching old pics looking for the paint scheme?
What year fender coves does it have and any chance they're red inside?
I like historic racing fiberglass too and have saved a few cool chunks over the years.
Although only one's off a car, the below pic is of 3 pieces w/ very significant racing histories.

A friend of mine gave me a 1975 Midwest Auto Specialties catalog today. I'm sitting here going through it and have found a couple of interesting things.
The Holley pumps that were being discussed a couple of pages ago are in this cat., and even though the pictures are b/w, you can tell that the entire pump body is painted. Also it does have the US type decal.
They are calling the Mallory Mark II coils the new design over the old Flash Fire coils and the YL distributors have the standard type caps that use boots instead of the two piece style that the wire slides into. The only distributors that have that type cap are the Rev-Pol series.
This cat. is a great Day 2 piece, around 100 pages. I will post anything else of interest.
