Anyone ever seen an A1000 pump w/-12AN inlet?

[dville_gt]

I was under the impression that the A1000 had -10 AN in/out, but this pump I picked up off a buddy of mine is def. an A1000 and def. -12 inlet.

I assume this wont be an issue (other then needing a -10 to -12 fitting for my filter).

Here is a picture:

I have one. I did some research and about half say that the older A1000's came that way and the other half say that the older Eliminator series came that way.

this pump has 08/05 stamped on it

The only A1000 I had, had -10 fittings but the fittings were already installed (maybe -12 to -10 adapters?).

You sure its a A1000 and not a Eliminator or something else? I would call Aeromotive and get the low down straight from the source if your unsure. Also ask them how reliable those older models are. I thought I remember hearing the older ones are junk but I could be wrong.

Weird, the one I had was -10.

[dville_gt]

After some research it looks like it is probably an eliminator which I hear have a great deal of problems (esp. w/high heat and cavitation). Only other option would be a marine A1000 which have -12 inlets. I will try calling Aeromotive but it doesn't appear (other then the date) that there are any unique markings on this to determine which pump it is. I wish Aeromotive would have made the pumps more easily distinguishable.

Oh, something I forgot to mention is those are not AN threads your measuring. You have to use special fittings to go from the pump to AN. Its a oring fitting. Maybe that is why it seems bigger?

Yes, you are right...I don't know why I kept calling them AN sizes.

Oh, and one end is clearly bigger then the other.

They should make oring fittings that will screw into that and have a -10 end, check your local diesel supply store if you can't find one from a mail order place.

There is a four digit number stamped on the outside, call aeromotive and talk to them they can give you the info off of that. I had to when I sent mine in to get rebuilt.

They are AN threads, ANY -12,-10 fitting would work (whatever size you need), you just have to grind/turn/sand the flare portion off and add the oring to be "correct". If it's on the inlet side of the pump, I don't even bother most of the time.

Funny you say that, the aeromotive inlet filter that came with the pump had a -12 AN fitting on it and it screwed right in. Where do you find the replacement o-rings?

I ordered a bunch of extras from summit or jegs. You can usually goto oriellys or autozone and they have a box of o-rings behind the counter. If you cant find one and you're not too far from me I have extras.

aeromotive sells them, summit or jegs has them. traditional orings would probably work too
