Just got the latest issue 5/21 Mopar Collector Guide.
They did a nice 7 page article on the AACA museum HEMI display. Still on display until the end of April.
Several pictures including the pump. Quote = "Ray Evernham's Hemi Daytona" "and on the opposite of end the spectrum there's a immaculately restored Chrysler industrial water pump"

However they listed me as a tractor collector.....I do not even own any vintage tractors.
 
Maybe you should update their information for them.
 
They might of interviewed your wife. I know mine would of told them it sounds like a tractor.

I grew up in Southern Ontario, where a lot of tobacco used to be grown. All tobacco farms had an irrigation pond to supply water to the crop during dry summers. Gorman-Rupp is a pump manufacturer in nearby St. Thomas and built pump units in that '50's and '60's era using Chrysler flat head six and early Hemi's to power them. In dry summers these pumps would run for weeks at a time, shutting down only for oil changes. The summer evening music in my area was the sound of frogs croaking and an unmuffled 354-powered pump bellowing away at a neighbouring farm. At night, if the pond was near a rural road, you could spot the pump by its glowing red exhaust manifolds.
