This is a Bennett pump, but I don't know which one exactly. 746? 756? Help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Looks like a 646 to me. Could be wrong, but that appears to be the tall version. 756 is a short pump, I think...Dale

Here's a better pic. The first one came across a little streched. I turned the glass around so the old Mobilgas showed.

Bennett model 766.......... They were very popular with Sinclair , , Richfield east coast , some Independents . They were a "Cut- Down version of the 756 and 646's . Ed Shaver

I searched 766 on the web and that's it. I notice some have the cable return allowing a longer hose, and others don't. Planning to go with Sinclair color scheme. 1) We had a Sinclair close to where I live, so it fits the area. 2) Similar to Michigan State colors :-)

That's better. Doesn't look like a tall 646 pump now. Didn't notice the hose retractor before. 766 is right on....

Thank you all. I'm looking forward to restoring the pump. I like staying with the Mobilgas theme. My wife and 5 yr old son want it Sinclair with the dino. Michigan State is nearby, so the green and white colors may be the way to go.

Got a 646 I actually bought from MSU--they had it on the old farm there. I'm going to paint it Spartan colors
