    Last time I made a terrible mistake to buy a carburetor for my 56 Olds Super 88 convertible on Ebay and you guys told me that you would have been able to help me with a better source, had I only asked you before!

    This time I need a new Hydraulic pump for my convertible top and again, where shall I buy? I have no idea being out here in Germany...


    This is one choice:

    This is the second one:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0Q...emZ110497114628QQsspagenameZSTRKQ3aMEWAXQ3aIT

    This is number three:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0Q...emZ220640622852QQsspagenameZSTRKQ3aMEWAXQ3aIT

    Pls let me know, what the best choice would be.
    thanks!

    You might want to take your existing pump apart. My pump didn't work on my 64 Catalina. I took it apart and found some dried sludge in the pump. I cleaned it out and put it back in and it was still working when I sold the car. It's worth a try.

    Thanks to all of you!
    Tommy, I took the pump apart and the motor is full of dust and does not run. You can turn the anchor easily, but no chance to get it going. I will give it to a specialist to get it rebuild and then will have a spare version!
