Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Wayne 70 Correct Nozzle

Jack:
Hope there is canadian pumps in there.

No estimate on date, that is up to the publisher.

Craig, as stated above I have 40+ file drawers filled with service station literature, mostly gas pump, but I doubt I have info on more than two pumps from Canada. No info, no Canadian pumps in the book. It doesn't show up on Ebay and have never found one piece of Canadian lit. at any of the almost 100 petro shows I have attended.

I asked the question originally because one source says a factory Wayne nozzle is correct and other sources say a Morrison Brothers 227-F is right. I have both and wanted to know because it is going on a pump in my collection. I would also say the term newbie doesn't always apply to everyone new to this site. Just because I have recently joined and have taken an interest to petro related items does not mean that my skills are juvenile. We take pride in what we restore and want to use the most correct parts we can find. I asked it as a legit question and apologize if I was out of line with my response. I know that there is a lot of knowledge here and I am sure someone may know for sure. I have a flex spout Wayne nozzle, not a solid end, if that matters.

If one has not been in the Hobby, before they are a "Newbie"...

There are "No, ifs ands or buts"!

We read posts quite frequently from New Members that get upset that someone calls them a "Newbie".... Why? We all started out "green" in this Hobby... And most everyone in the Hobby; has been in it less time than someone else. So compared to the Hobbyist who has more time in the Hobby, one is a "Newbie"...

Some of us raced cars in the 50s, 60s and 70s and later... So we knew how to "tear down" engines, brakes, transmissions... etc... But, none of that has anything to do with determining if an oil can has a soldered seam or a crimped... Or if an electric had a computer or clock... or....

So we were/are still newbies when we started collecting Petro and the different nuances we run into...

Others were Collectors of different items, not Petro... When they started picking up Petro items, they were a "Newbie"...

FYI: The Nozzle on a pump was the item that was replaced the most... It almost never was replaced with the same brand of nozzle... So if you are going for the "Factory fresh, right out of the shipping crate" look... For most brands... Paint your pump red, place Wayne ad glass in it... And (again) for most brands it will look like it did when it arrived at the Station...

If you are wanting it to look as it did while in use? Either nozzle you place on it will be correct.
