I have an M S 80 and it is missing the base it has the tall top with the sight glass in the top what I see in Jack's book this pump should have a tall base did they make it with a short base also? Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Thanks George

I have had 2 different shortbases. One stamped steel and one cast iron. My tall base was aluminum.

Did ether of your shotort base pumps have a tall top with the sight glass in the top? I am trying to find out if my pump is to have a tall base or could it of had a short base.

All the tall bases i have seen had the tall tops with the sight glass. The short base pumps that had tall tops were either solid, ad glass or one of the script tops such as Mobilgas, Conoco or Sunoco.

I have been restoring MS80's for a long time. Check out my For Sale "pumps" section on my site....www.severngaspumps.com Scroll down thru the Sold items. You will see all the options that were available. The Cyclops tops...with the sight glass in the center, had both base styles. Usually built for Standard Oil, that is why the globe holder is usually 7 inches wide, instead of the normal 6 inches. Regards, Paul www.severngaspumps.com
