Hot Rods ZIP WATER PUMP RISER FACT THREAD!!!

speedway/summit

 

I checked there, they are out of stock. Any other suggestions?

 

Guess I’m just lucky. My 350 runs 180 tp 185 unless setting at idle. Then just over 190. Engine driven fan.

 

^^^^^^^
Just depends On engine ,
& Other factors ,
& where you get / take temp from etc.
Many Brands of engine have a Hotter Temp middle to Rear of Block /Heads then Front , add more gauges & you will have different readings

 

I believe Zip passed away, and no one took over!

 

That would explain why everyone is out of stock. This is typically how my luck works.

 

Check vintage air

 

Out of stock according to the webpage

 

This is what I was thinking ,
Last time I talked with was close to
10 ish year ago .

 

make some more....

 

on installs , all the pics i've seen... the fan ends up in the center of the rad..can't amagine why that wouldn't work... if it works on some and not the others... sum ting else wong....

 

Couple things.

Dorman bleeders work better than Zips screw.

If running a heater with a Zips, the use of a bypass heater valve which will allow the coolant to circulate when the heater is off.

 

I have a Sno-White for my SBC. They were out of Fresno, and functionally quit similar. They might be a good substitute if zips products are no longer available.

 

I think Sno white late 60s
Before Zip
Or could be thinking about Meth injection manufacture in the late 60s,
I know Meth was used in WW2
