It seems like I read in a post a while back where someone used a late model pontiac sunbird power top pump.

I have done a few searches, but I can't find a good confirmation on this.

Has anyone done this or used another model?

Thanks,

I think companies like March performance offer brackets for this swap (with a remote reservoir), but I haven't seen it done otherwise...

I am not sure about, but a good place to get answers regarding Conv stuff is
" Hydro E Lectric" in Fl.. 1-800-343-4261
"Convertible Service " Ca. 1-800 333-1140

I sold my 66 Conv Last Year and it had a power top
I Thought of swaping the powere stuff to my 64
Manual top car.. B-4 it left. .but was scared away. .changing all the manual springs ect

I was hoping to hear from someone who had actually swapped out an old one for a modern pump. I'd rather not have to buy a new pump, but if I have to, I don't want to have to get it from someplace with a high markup.

I will try those two convertible places (I guess they probably don't have a website).

I will try a post in the tech forum and see if anyone there has done the swap.
