1936 flathead water pumps??????

[lotsagas4u]

Did the 1936 water pumps have the temp sender socket on both pumps? Saw a for sale set last week, and I always thought there was a right and left, with temp sender being on left/drivers side. Did the guy just have 2 left side pumps for sale????? Thanks

Only on the left one as far as I know. The right one would be similar to 32 to 34 or same.

In 1935 and 36 production water pumps had a distinct left hand pump(with temp sender port) and right hand pump(w/o temp sender port). Service replacement pumps however were universal and could be used on either side. The temp sender port would be plugged when used on the right side.

The right hand pump with a access port was very handy to hook up a hot water heater, in lieu of into the upper hose on the '36 and earlier vehicles.
I know that Ford did not offer a hot water heater in their cars until 1938-39, however, many people found the manifold heaters and/or gas heaters, (Southwind) to be somewhat useless..
My '36 cpe had a 38-39 heater in it when I bought the car in 1952. There is no evidence on the firewall that the car ever had anything but a Ford hot water heater in the car.

I always found the Southwind to be the best heater I ever had in a car!

My South Wind has two settings Hot and too darn hot

The SW heater warms up quicker than the engine does for sure. The later Corvair heater will work in the arctic but a person has to watch for carbon monoxide. I've know folks that used both way up north.

That's what I loved with my SW (high school years), instant heat and lots of it!

I have a Southwind Jr. Model in my Avatar. It will make you drive with the windows down for cooling.
