Re: Washer Pump Color

I like that judging philosiphy!!! I have a 3 port N.O.S. one in the box... bright white!!

'73 LS-4 454 owned 22 years

Collecting N.O.S. parts for the resto for 21 of them!

This is a case in which just how old the NOS part is matters. The PRODUCTION and original SERVICE pumps were white with a very slight yellowish coloration. Later, the material changed to "snow white" colored material. Finally, the material changed to black. Those are easy to spot but they're still NOS.

If I can find the picture of my 1970 engine compartment when the car was new -- I will post it, but I have started my 2012 Road Tour so I won't be able to do that for a while . I may however get some help with it.

W Washer pump when new is snow white. No yellow.

Well I did get some help. Now to see if I can find where this download went on this "foreign" computer. This is the picture of my 1970 when it was about a month old.

Re: Washer Pump Color

I'm glad that this thread establishes that original pumps sitting on the showroom floor were WHITE. Wonder what the guys that have reproduced pumps in yellow plastic are going to do with their inventory?

Also, the judges that have taken off points for white pumps are now calling and apologizing to owners! Yeah, right!!!!
