Title: 28-29 Plymouth Coupe Waterpump?
Post by: SD Glenn on October 29, 2010, 11:07:43 PM
I am a new proud member of Plymouth owners club, and owner of a 28-29 Plymouth Coupe, from Watertown, SD.
Howdy to all.

I must be blind but, I can not find a water pump on this engine?
Thanks for any help or info you can give me..

Just one less thing to fail. :)

The first Plymouth with a water pump was the 1930 30-U. Before that they used the same thermosiphon cooling as a Model T Ford.

My '28 Chrysler "52" has the same engine as the very early Plymouths and does not have a waterpump.  The Thermosiphon works just fine.  I suppose the biggest drawback is that one cannot run a hot water heater.  Many English cars and light trucks did not use waterpumps either until about 1950.

Glenn,

Welcome to the POC, lots of good knowledge on this site.

When you get a chance, could you post some photos of your coupe?

Thanks,
Bob
