I put a couple of pics in my gallery "Flathead V8"
I still have the pump somewhere so could take a few close up pic's at the weekend if you're interested

Im guessing it is a Brand C but Im not that up to date on all OHV's and my 396 Impala is in winter storage.
Leave it up to the English to innovate! The new Stromberg 97's coming from the UK are absolutely beautiful.

I can't claim any credit for this mod for the English as it was done in South Africa.
They had many problems getting parts so mechanics had to be innovative.

I posted some pic's of the water pump, I could not see any casting numbers
The outlets are a little narrow to match up with the holes in the front of the block so whoever did this made the holes larger

If you can't ID the pump I will get the pulley pressed off

Thanks for all your effort.
Now all I need is some spare time to work on replicating it over here.
