Would like to know if anyone knows where I can get a water pump for a 1930 Hudson Super 8 rebuilt? Or, where the hell can I buy one? We're trying to restore it back to original if we can get all the parts working for it. The old straight 8 fires quick and runs strong. Had it doing 70 mph on the 710 in L.A., but she was running a little too warm, and when we got her home we noticed she was leaking. Any help would be appreciated. <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
greasemunkee On my 29 the waterpump uses leaded rope for the seals and is adjustable and easily replaced.My 29 supersix will actually burn rubber I don't do it often (don't want to break a wheel)
O and G Water Pumps in Lubbock, TX can rebuild it for you or if it does not need any parts replaced /rebuilt and you just need the packing mentioned above, Restoration Supply Co., www.restorationstuff.com has it in all three sizes it ever came in.

Thanks to everyone for the info. Restoration Supply Co. is actually only about 1/2 hour away from me. I'm going to check the place in Fontana for the rebuild. Trying to make sure everything is good to go on this thing. Figured I'd add a few shots of her.
Here's a pic of my 29.To keep this post hot rod related My dad bought this car in 55 or 56 and planned on hotrodding it with a TwinH 308 and a hydro but grampa took it away and restored it.Grampa was still a bit of a hotrodder. For along time he ran with a flipped intake and a downdraft carb.
