Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Where does this go?? Bennett 766 part

Just bought this pump today in pieces and trying to figure out where this piece goes.

Here is the part




And the pump part way done.


Thanks. This is my first pump ever

Dan

Chuck It.
You should have listened & took LOTS of pictures Before dismantling! LOL
Just kidding, I know you bought a Basket Case!

i think it looks like the door release lever that you have to pull when you open the front doors and you have to open the small door on the side to get to it

Yeah yeah DB. It was taken apart 15+ years ago so I had no part is dismantling this thing.

I've taken 100 of those pumps apart and have never seen that piece before.

Ok i will see if that is it tomorrow. Have never seen one of these pumps apart before but figured if I get it together It would look nice in the garage

I'm with Dice, don't think it fits on your pump. Richard

If it doesn't go then what opened the front doors??

me too-- its dont belong to that pump--ruben

it looks like a drain tube--maybe neptune

Not part of the pump, chuck it.

Heres the door opener...on other side of this is a knob that looks like a garden hose spiggot handle.. Sorry that's WV explainin lol

That's what I said, Phil!
CHUCK IT [into a corner].

That part is a throttle cable bracket for a Chevy with a Q jet

But how does it connect and open both of them??

You are dead on the money throttle bracket for Q-jet no question about it

Theres a slot in the door for that to turn into and lock.

Q jet makes since since he had an older Malibu in the garage as well

But I pic or diagram of how to open the doors from the access panel would be great. Thanks for the inputs.
Dan

isnt there a large round knob-or lever that will engage that out side stub

its located on the inside--simple design--

You stick your hand inside access door & turn EA knob to open EA door separately. 1 at a time.

Ruben,
He lives in Cincinnati! Do I need to say More?

This IS GONNA be a FUN THREAD! LOL

Oh I never should have bought this thing!!!

Why couldn't it have been and M&S 80!!!

Will post pics tomorrow of it completed hopefully

Thanks for the help and for me adding junk to the scrap pile.

It is not fun being a noob at pumps!! Lol

Yes it is I need one for my motor I'm building

Here is the only other piece that may open the doors

if you can do a 80--you can do it--i can put those bennett together in my sleep

80 lock mech same principal--

throw that in the pile thats for your motor--dont need it if there no motor

The doors open with a knob that turns as already stated and circled in the picture. The part pictured above has nothing to do with the doors. That looks like the rod to turn the motor off and on.

To the scrap pile it goes! The pump may end up there soon at this rate!

your almost making me make a trip to the back toward my shop
to get a pic for you---nottt i have to go thru a series of alarms and the guard dogs

and no way iam going back there at nite they dont like me--i give up for tonite
someone help him

I am a pump noob and know it. No expert here.
Thanks for all the help with my stupid questions

Offer to sell/trade the bracket back to seller for a nozzle OR post it For Sale in the Non Petro Forum, Gotta be worth $20 or more!
I'll trade ya a few Matchbooks for it or a Large MOBIL Calendar!

Sounds almost like a good deal!! Lol

OK OK, How many MB's do you want for it?

I was going to suggest you buy a 766 Parts Manual from me, but I decided to look at the manual to see if I could spot the part.

It's not there, not even on the 756.

Dan, do you see the two center bars going across and attaching to the upright pump frame bars. Just below the computer. You will note that there is a latch assembly attached to the cross bar. In the picture you can see the front view and the rear view of the bar. If you look at the back of the door in the center is a brace that goes across and is placed at the same height as the cross bar on the pump frame. There is a slot in the door brace that accepts the latch from the cross bar. If you turn the latch from the back side and line up the latch so that it will fit into the slot in the brace as you are closing the door. Once the latch fits into the slot turn the lever further and it will lock the door in the closed position. Hope the foregoing makes sense.

Maybe this will help the Newbie from Cincinnati!
Just wait till they start Multiplying! LOL

. That's sure what it looks like ,the square is where the detent cable snaps into for a 350 turbo automatic trans.

Its for throttle cable.. the ones for the detent cable have 2 hole.

Thanks guys. I think I understand this now. Thought is was more complicated than it is. Thank Dave and DB for the good photo
Dan

Almost got it done. Just have to get a few more tiny parts to get ( door hinge, hose and weather strips and eventually a power x globe)

This has been fun for sure can't wait till the next one.

The nice thing about this pump was that it was a sinclair pump from the start. All original parts are on it minus the globe, which it only had a cover over the hole. The pump was in great shape to start with. The veeder still ran and the frame and bottom were very clean.

Another Reason to Never Give Up. Very nice job Dan & Especially since your not the one who Took it Apart!

ps; light switch shouldn't stick-out like a sore thumb!

Did you find a Power X globe for it? I have a very nice one.

Looks good!

Take off the knob off of the light switch actuating rod. There should be no knob on it. The end of it has a knurled finish that simply protrudes through a black rubber grommet.

Dave,
It appears it has been changed; Push/Pull switch.
1st finished pic is w/ lights on & knob is closer to body,
in 2nd pic lights are off & knob is further away from body.

Wow, you are very observant DB. You're right original switch would be on when pulled out and off when pushed in.

Looks great!love them Dino's!

Here is the Finished photo of the pump!!!
Pretty happy on how it turned out.
Big Thanks to Kevin F. for hooking me up with an original Power X globe(for a price!).

So lesson learned, never give up on a pile of sheet metal and junk! This guy had it in pieces for years. Only thing i had to buy was the globe and rubber, all the rest was there.
So thanks for all that looked at my first basic pump.

Now need a MS80 Script top pump!!! (mobilgas special)

Now that it's finished, take it out of the storage room & into the house!

Yeah you call my wife and tell her to lug it into the house from the Garage!! That would go over like a fart in church!!!

Just start moving her stuff to the Garage, she will feel more at home w/ Some of her stuff!

& besides that NO ONE Admits who Farted in Church, Everyone is Guilty even the Preacher!

However I would move the rocker can away, quickly,it is perilously close to the side of that beautiful pump and its paint job!!
I agree that PPP is slightly better than the one you sent me BTW.

The rocker is getting blasted soon and painted with a standing Dino logo just cause it is cool.
And why would I send you the good stuff Fred!!! Lol
The other ppp is still a nice piece

Better than Donating to guys that can't afford to buy or pay the postage!

Looks great, I'm in the process of doin a 756 similar to yours, bought a pair complete and doing one leaving one as is ,just got all parts painted and need to assemble, fun little pump to work on.

Looks good.

You mentioned that you are looking for a Mobil Gas Special script top. I just picked up a very nice top. Pics can be seen on my site, under "For Sale Pumps." MS 80 pumps are easy to find. The tops are the real issue. P.M. me for the actual price. Paul www.severngaspumps.com
