Bought my first gas pump this weekend and wondering what you guys could tell me about it. Gilbarco M#96B40L. Not looking to do a full restorartion on it at this point. Looking to add a Globe and some lights, and a new decal. Started to pull some of it apart and cleaning. Need to know what parts I have missing for the holes on the outside as well. I do have 2 of the stainless trim pieces but need some more and the brackets that hold them on. Lemme know what ya guys think and thanks for having me.

Plans as of now are to gather the missing pieces. Would like to find out the history on it, ie age, color, etc. So if you know of any good links for this info lemme know please. Need to figure out how to remove the reset handle and the part with all the numbers. Seems a bird or mouse or both made a very nice home in it at some time. Other than that I think I will just clean up the inside and add a coat of POR 15. Prob leave the black alone and considering changing the orange to red. I like the Mobil decor. Add a globe and then just clear the outside for now. Any suggestions/ideas are welcome. Thanks. -Brian

There is a small pin that holds the reset crank to the reset crank shaft. The pin can be a bear to get out, lots of patience and a good set of roll pin punches will make your job a little easier.

The calculator is pretty easy to remove. It is held in place by three bolts on the underside of the calculator.

...it's a nice pump, but it's a time-worn older restoration...note the repro Lead sign, and the unfaded 'shadow' where the fantasy Phillips 66 sign was...


Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

Thanks Ryan! I seen the pin and was going to try that but figured I'd ask first.

Gulfiend, I pulled the Phillips 66 signs off as I would like to go another direction with it. They were srewwed on. Is that how they would have been mounted originally? Fill me in on how to tell the repop lead sign please. As stated I'm a complete noon to these. Thanks again. -Brian

Congrats on your first pump. Be careful they will multiply. You can find parts for your pump as described above or though other members on this site. Where are you located in Iowa? I am in the western central part of Iowa.

Take LOTS OF PHOTOS & save to a file, they will come in handy for RE-assembly especially if you get side tracked on ANOTHER Pump/Project. Keep EVERYTHING Marked & Together.
