Yes 1948-1955 but want to know exact year my pump is. I read somewhere maybe on this post that in the serial # the 5 is for the month and the V is for 1950?

Tom,
The blue says say's is that The "code" letter prefixing the serial number indicates the year of manufacture and since February 1950, a number has been stamped in front of the prefix letter indicating the month of the year in which the equipment was built

The letter "V" is 1950 and the 5 would be for the 5th month (May)

Hope this helps, Jerry

I see Jerry didn't answer the serial # Question either & Evidently HE HAS A BLUE BOOK!

Anyone that drives/owns a YUGO, is USE-TO BEING LAUGHED AT.

Heck Jack, you have ignored me several times.
I don't know why you dislike me but that is your problem.
