Topic: Ford Thompson Pump

[bryancobb]

Does Anyone have any pictures of a well detailed teal power steering pump and pulley and bracket w/bolts, for a March 1966 C-Code Metuchen car with A/C?

I have a 65 A code, does that help?

I'd like to see them, but It's black I think.  I really want to see the teal one.
Thanks

Thanks a lot!  I THOUGHT the 65 ford pumps were always black?  MIne is a 66 so I know it's teal.
So the dataplate tag is painted? And I see the whole front casting is painted, not natural?
Are the water pump bolts painted?  Black or Corporate Blue?  I think with PS, you discard the thick water pump bolt washer, right?
What determines if the small diameter pipe with a Dairy Queen curly-Q dipstick or the large diameter one with 1/4-turn big cap dipstick is used?

My understanding is that that 65 could be teal or black depending on certain things.  I think mine is supposed to be black but I bought this off ebay already done.  The filler neck is suppose to be that large on 65-66, the smaller neck didn't start until 67 I believe.  It actually had a 67 pump on this car when it was bought in 92 and I believe the first or second owner probably had it changed out because the original went bad.  I'll never know if it had the eaton power steering pump or the ford pump originally.  It is an early fastback built 10-29-64.  I would assume the water bolt pumps would be blue on your car if it is a 66.

The color of the pump depended on the supplier (Ford or TRW) The tag on the rear tells you the supplier.

[bryancobb]

If the tag is missing, how do you tel which?
The Mannel book doesn't say I don't think.

Do not know of any other method of identification - and none of the TSB articles I have give any clue other than the tag

Just to add to Jeff's reply- Ford Thompson= Blue . TRW = Black. Bob

What would the tag say on which supplier?

Guess I don't have to worry about painting my pump black since it has an F in the middle line indicating it's a Ford Thompson - teal
