I picked up a nice straight Wayne 70 this past fall at Peotone. Took the computer out and removed the trim parts last night. Took it to the paint shop today. The paint guy looked it over, was very impressed with the pump as it needs minimal body prep work. Said I may even get it back this week yet.

In the trailer on the way home;




At the shop;



It had a repaired base on it but I got another good base when I bought the pump.



Does anyone have a good picture showing how the light manifold attaches?

Thanks

Wes--

On the inner top of your Wayne 70 (that looks like a range hood in a pit bbq restaurant) there are two holes. You put a couple of machine screws through those and attach the light monofld via two cut out areas in the light manifold casting. As you look at it, you'll see that there will be two light sockets per door when it is attached to the inner top. You can use nuts or wing nuts to cinch it up. Hope this helps. Dave Folck

It is getting a gloss black base, red body and white doors. I will put a Sinclair globe of some kind on it, possibly an Ethyl. I already have a couple red and while pumps but I like them so I am getting another one.

Thanks for the light manifold installation directions, they should be just what I need.
Hope to pick it up this Wednesday or Friday

Wes

Got my pump back Saturday. Took a little longer than planned but there is no reason to rush the Paint Man. I think he did a nice job on it. The old base was cracked and had a patch on it but I got a replacement when I bought the pump. Swapped the base out and put on the doors so far.

Looking great Wes, I just about have my 70 put back together. I did mine all red and it is going to be a Texaco Sky Cheif.

Hey Wes--Looking good! It'll be great to see it as a finished pump! I like these "in progress" photos. Kind of gives me ideas for the next restoration! Nice to see how others do it.---KEVIN

Got some more parts on the pump;
Got the add glasses from Vic's;


Put in the computer, may go for a restored one some time. Popped on the faces and the face plate glass. Put on a globe ring and a US Motors globe. It has a new hose on it, the nozzel is an old one I still need to polish and clean up. Have some small things to do to it yet. Am working on a set of US Motors add glasses for the front also.



Does any one know how these two items are fastened on? Pins, rivets?
