Subject: Pietenpol-List: Back in the foldHi Listers , back with you after a computer and address change. I have two queries I hope will bring some help. 1) Does anyone know if Bill Sayres is still on the list, has his bird flying, or has his e-mail address. Attempts at his old Boeing URL were kicked back unknown.2)My stock 'A' water pump holds its own under ideal conditions (on the test stand) but on hot days it does not cool well at low RPMs. Wouldn't want this to happen waiting in line to depart a fly-in or show so I am entertaining the thought of changiong to a side mounted washing machine pump. Past discussions and a visit to the archives seem to favor the old all metal Speed Queen # 23907. One very good reason was that Jack Mckinney managed to get over the big stuff and high desert from Arizona to Brodhead (and I hope back as well !) with just such a pump. Sooo, if anyone might have one
or provide a source or have had good performance with another brand, I would welcome your response. Have heard the Model T pump will fit the 'A' but the cost is pretty steep @ $165 from Snyder's. Good to be back and TIA for any help. Don Hicks________________________________________________________________________________
