Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion my first pump

I just aquired my first pump a Wayne 80 (I'm very excited).Pictures below.

The pump needs to be gutted and restored.My question is when gutting the pump what do I need to keep intact? I realize the computer but after that I'm at a loss.

as far as restoring it looks to be fairly straight forward don't think that'll be a problem.the pump is real straight no rust except on the top and only minor dents.Parts seem to be readily available for the pump so thats a bonus.

To put a globe on top of the pump do I need to get a new top or is there a kit to adapt the current top?I'm going to restore as a mobil special.

I plan to take lots of pictures during the resto & may post them here when I finish?here's some befor pics.













Thanks for looking & any help appreciated.

It is completely up to you what you keep. But having said that, keep the computer, site glass manifold and light assembly. The rest is junk. This pump does not have a hose retractor. But that is just another heavy item not needed. If you get one that has it, simply run the retractor cord inside and tie off. They are for display now. Remember K.I.S.S.(Keep It Simply Stupid) Have fun and welcome to the best site on the net. Larry

pump is now disassembled down to the computer & I must say it went extremely well for having no idea what I was doing.2 hours & only the computer to pull i was shocked as was my wife when she came home from getting groceries...

nochevy, the M&S 80 is a great pump! It's acceptable to remove any internal parts that one cannot see from the exterior.
Regarding a globe, you can order a repro (or find an original) globe base, cut a 3 1/2" hole in the top and bolt it on (probably 10-32 or 10-24 would be about the right bolt size).
Good luck, let me know when you get it finished and I'll hook you up with Jason who handles the "Restoration of the Month" thread. We's all LOVE to see the transformation!
Good luck!!
