Bluebird Bus with Cummins

[DieselNasty]

A friend of mine has a few engines from them and is possibly getting more. From what he tells me they are 6bts with P-pumps bolted to allisons and my ? is are they the bigger of the 2 different pumps found on our trucks? How can we tell, just by the power rating?



Thanks

Most likely 160hp pumps. Don't need anymore for hauling kids. Our school bus/Bluebird/Cummins tech - Greenleaf should chime in, he's the expert on them... or is it the pretty substitute teachers??

Correct on both accounts my friend.



Cummins P-Pump; 190 hp CPL 1551 (1996)



PES6P120A120RS7350 (model)

0-402-736-867 (part #)

RQVK governor



In short. . possibly the date of manufacture/HP rating
