Hi Guys,

I'm trying to put a new pump on my 54 Mercury Monterey coupe (256 Y Block). The pumps I order seem to be the correct shape but way too big. The old pump had a 4 in impeller, and the replacements look like a scaled up version with 4.5in impellers, so they won't fit. Am I missing something? Also the pump has 30151 stamped on it, any thoughts?

You need a 239/256 1st year water pump. What you have fits the rest of the y blocks.

If you are actually ordering it for a '54 but keep getting '55 and newer, then you will probably have to send your original out for rebuild.

It looks like Kanter Auto Parts shows a different # for 1954 as opposed to later Y Blocks which is what everyone else lists as being the same for 1954-1962. You might check their Website. Not cheap though. U might be better to get yours rebuilt and return if U find someone who does rebuilds.

  

Excellent, Thanks for the help guys

The problem here is which engine you have, the DIF or CLV. Most of that  ID info was deleted from the 49/59 MPC FINAL ISSUE.

The 256 was supposedly CLV, so the B4A should be correct.

It looks like there are 2 on Ebay. Listing 312319440442 and 163197792255. These 2 sellers know that they only fit 1954. All the others say 1954-1962 which is incorrect Application. Even Rock Auto lists it as the same for 54-62.
