1949-53 Flathead Car Water Pump with Double Narrow Belts

Original Flathead water pumps have always suffered from unreliable bronze bushings and carbon seals. They almost always leaked and even Ford manuals warned mechanics not to tighten fan belts too tight. The excess slack allowed belts to slip and lose contact with the generator and water pump pulleys, causing more cooling and power problems.

Speedway's completely new water pumps feature severe-duty roller and ball bearings, close tolerances and modular impellers to provide maximum flow and reduce cavitation. They also have modern ceramic seals on a heavy duty 3/4" shaft, making the assembly exceptionally strong and more efficient.

• For 1949-53 Ford, narrow belt, two-belt system
• Passenger side pulley offset 3-9/16"
• Driver side pulley offset 2-3/4"
• Ceramic seals on sturdy 3/4" shaft
• High-flow modular impeller reduces cavitation

• Driver side pump does not have heater hose connection

Fits 1949-1953 Ford cars and 1952-1953 Mercurys with 3/8" belt system. Also fits 1953 F-100 Pickups.
