The one NPD lists is from a Kentucky-based company, though you'd have to check and see if it's made in the US. You will need an adapter for the original harness that they also sell.

thanks for heads up I will check on it. Dont know about adaptor as the project has already replaced the entire wiring harness so hopefully they will fit but good to know about adaptor if needed.

 

Hydro-E-Lectric has an exact replacement motor for you '65 for $329.

 

a little late but got busy and forgot I had asked for help. thanks. I saw those and all those from China. On my last project I got burnt on a lot of china parts. So I was trying to stay away but save money at the same time. I will check on mfg of their pump. thanks again, Mike

 

never too late for good news, thank

 

My experience with the original pumps is that brake fluid used at that time caused impeller lock up due to moisture gathering. I've rebuilt a few of them, and all they needed was the impeller freed and cleaned and the armature and brushes cleaned. Any new or reman electrical part generally will either fail right off or fail years and years later. So I would be comfortable with a 90 day warranty, personally. I use ATF in my convertibles. I last rebuilt the pump on my '67 in 1996 and it's still going strong. Rebuilt the '66 pump last year and it's still waiting for me to install it.
Rick, thanks for chiming in!
