Thats real neat Rick! I think you should find another pump and restore it. Imagine that a survivor and a frame off...

Now the entire pump weighs in at just over 500lbs.

I have three vintage gas pumps that serve as night lights around the garages. All three still retain ALL the original motors and plumbing. Too many people gut the old pumps so they're easier to move, especially if they're inside a garage,...... or a house, but if you get them too light and easy to move, they tend to "walk away"!
If anyone wants my pumps,........ they're gonna have to work for them!

Dennis you're not alone in that thought.
I didn't really know if you guys would be that interested in this.Thank You!
I am looking for an unmolested mate for it,now that I have the hang of it and an influx of extra parts too,but it has to be holding a 3 digit pre-oil embargo computer.I don't want a later 4 digit,which there seems to be alot more of.

I used a few other pumps as a diagram,and actually bought another crappy partial pump to remove parts off of.That and attending as many oil & gas shows as I could,especially during the winter months.If you're not there by 6AM,you mind as well turn around and head back home because anything of value will be swallowed up already.
I found the wiring schematic & parts diagram in an old Wayne Service & Assembly manual.It was very helpful,but it was the input from fellow collectors,AND especially the few original gas&oil jockeys walking among us.You know who you are..
You guys are really under appreciated in my book...and of course,YOU WERE THERE!

There's a pic I posted on page 1 with it's lights on.The protective gun guards first came out in late 1960's,early 70's I believe & in various colors from what I've seen.This one was still holding a red one when I found it...Good eye on the date Pete.

Don't get me wrong,collecting and acquiring anything having to do w/Chevrolet and their vehicles is first and foremost with me and always will be.But Sunoco comes after that,as it was always considered the Gas station to work at when I grew up.Their gas grades catered to the Hi-Performance leaders,and was one of the first stations to offer the New Wayne multiple blending grade pump to the general public.

While I was in the Sunoco zone,I also found something that is the perfect companion piece to this that I've been working on too and I'll post pics of that shortly.
Here's a small vintage hint..

Lemme guess. You'll post the answer at 6:25?





The pause that refreshes.

Rick,
Congratulations on the completeness you have achieved on the pump. IT would be my dream to have a pump like yours, ready and able to fill my tank with the good stuff!!
IT's a beauty!!!!!!

Hmmmm...Since I don't think you mean a '66 Biscayne (or Bel Air ), I'd have to say it's a <font color="red"> Coke </font> machine?

A Vendo 39?.
