Also I am almost sure there is no hole in the top of my metal cam gear. I won't swear on that but I'm pretty sure. I know there isn't in the plastic cam gear sent with the pump.

I edited my post above, removed the question and added a couple of things. You might want to re-read it. Your reply to Hunter didn't post until after I had mine typed and added. If you can't edit out the firewall part let me know I can do it for you. LockDoc

Re: Washer Pump Size Issue
A problem you may run into as you said on the first post depending on the washer fluid mix, brand and you only using it a couple times of year may result in the pump losing its prime and the top end gumming up and failing. You can modify the washer system and use the original plug from the old washer without hacking up the wiring and make it look very professional and function all the time with easy repair if needed. I can help you with that if you ever want to change it and make it look good.
Great job with the effort to make the old system work. Smitty

Re: Washer Pump Size Issue
Hmmm.... well I could very well be mistaken. As an aside, check LockDoc's latest post. He found the correct rebuild kit for our trucks' original pumps. Won't help if the actuating mechanism side is hosed of course, but works to rebuild the actual pump!

Re: Washer Pump Size Issue
I should have gone that route instead of replacing the entire pump.

Re: Washer Pump Size Issue
This post is for those that might be confused about what I'm calling the "pump heads" and the difference in diaphragms/locations. The pump assembly on the left is my 68's original and the one on the right is the LMC Repro (same as the RA) pump assembly. The first picture is what I am calling the pump housing as a whole. The second points out the actual diaphragms that Hunter757 and I have been talking about. Notice the housing shapes are far different from each other as well as the shape of the diaphragms inside.

Re: Washer Pump Size Issue
Yea but there's hope! Ha. If Eckler's has it, it means it exists and may be available elsewhere. Also, I would email Eckler's and see if they have any kind of a time frame on when they'll have some back in stock.

you are correct, did some searching and came across this: https://www.zip-corvette.com/63-67-w...0aAhJwEALw_wcB Now I know its for a corvette but its the same years and chevrolet so I took a chance and order one. Will update and let you know if it works. There are a few other kits out there with the full rebuild kit for the corvette and these guys sell that as well. Let's hope it works!! |

Re: Washer Pump Size Issue
Sorry for the late reply. Yes I did get in and it was a perfect match for the old one and fit into the housing with no issues what so ever.
Have not had a chance to reinstall it yes was why I have not reported back yet. I see no reason for it not to work. Just remember this: When taking the old one out you have to spin the large dial with gears to get the arm to release you can grab and twist the old diaphragm off and you must do the same when installing it. A bit tricky at first but you will know when you have locked onto the stud. As soon as I get reinstalled will 100% report back. Been really wet and its hunting season. |
