Re: 1929 640 Water pump/fan hub pulley

I think you're being too hard on Bob. I worked on an early 6th series car and it had the side winder. I also worked on a late 6th series car that had the block mounted pump.
The later car used a link belt to run the fan which was adjusted by removing a link. Neither car had water pump problems, although the later car shuttled between New Jersey and Miami beach every other year.

Both of those books have mistakes, but if you want to be really wacky about historical "facts" you need to join a canal historical society. Somehow non-essential history becomes a reaction zone where people grasp at exactitudes while ignoring all of the complete baloney and fabrication that comes from the government, from Wall Street, and from the news media.
