Larry,
If you have it blasted use walnut shells and the pump can be gotten from
_www.Clarkscorvair.com_ (http://www.Clarkscorvair.com) .
If you need any thing you can call me as I have other sources for parts that
will save you some money.

I have one good rear accessory case out of the 2 engines. It is pretty
nasty. Can this be disassembled and bead blasted, or what is the best way to
clean it up. Does anyone know where to buy the parts for the pump. I want to
clean this up and get this part of it done.

Well, I put the rear case into a tub of water and baking soda, with some
electric and it removed the rust really well. I was able to disassemble the
piece with ease! It worked so well, that I went down and bought a 45 gallon tub
and just finished hooking everything up. I have 6 electrodes in the tub and
it is bubbling really good. I will leave it in there overnight and part of
the day tomorrow. Then I will see if she will come apart! I have soaked
with oil, beat with a hammer and a 2 X 4 for 2 days and nothing has moved! It
is solid. So, I am hoping that this will get everything lose enough for me to
disassemble the engine. The rear case bolts just had no rust on them, nor
did the plate on the bottom. They came out really easy. The one I had
started to remove when it was rusted, had a twist in it, so I am glad I stopped
and
waited. This engine is the worse of the 2, so if works on this one, this
should work for anyone! I will let you know in a day or so if it worked. Sure
beats trying to fill that tub up in oil!
