When I was first driving, in 1969 (well actually. I drove a couple years before that but I won't go into that), in town here, as part of the WPA in the 1930s, they had constructed underpasses so Oakland Avenue dipped down under the CGW railroad tracks and another street. So, when you reached the end of the underpass on the west end, you were facing uphill. I was mainly driving our 1950 Ford pickup, at the time which, of course, had a stick shift and it seemed the throw was about two feet. I used to have semi-nightmares about rolling backward into the car behind me in between the time I released the clutch and was able to step on the gas. It never did happen, though. Doug
Our (eventually to become my) '59 Chevy Impala had a 20 gallon tank and when I first had my license, it cost 5 dollars to fill it! I was hardly ever able to afford to see the needle at "F", however. Sometimes, my friends and I would pool our money and put, like, 50 cents worth, in. Doug
Have you tried going to the board were the 3-D printers are discussed. Perhaps they could help. But, when those pumps were still in use, 1974. I had my first fully electric pickup truck. So yes I needed there electrical connection. Best wishes finding those pumps. Let me know because that's the era I plan on modeling.
I think most missed that Richard was talking about his vehicles needing to be electric, not the pumps. Doug
Showcase miniatures has those style pumps as part of a "convenience store detail set" https://www.showcaseminiatures.net/n_scale/n_scale_century_foundry_accessories/536.html
