First pump setup

This pump was replaced because the thank was leaking and because the pump was to high for having a good remote reservoir. The new setup is more compact and fit in the stock location.

GM Saginaw model P (Can of ham) pump

Saginaw pump mounted on custom bracket

First ram setup.

First Failure

To much stress on the washer, the shaft have gone thrue the washer

The stock reservoir of the saginaw pump was to high, it was hitting the hood

I bought a rebuilt pump, cut the tank and welded it back up. Now I have to do it again since I didn't saw that the new pump was clocked that much to the left!!!
