Calvin,
I remember the post. And I have the identical pump in my box of parts. I
don't plan on installing it. I don't know if it is good or not but it
doesn't fit the mounting bracket exactly. It would require holes to be
drilled. Maybe different fuel line fittings. But since I am doing a full
restore, and I already have the fuel lines etc, I have opted for
original equipment.
Any way, my reason for responding now is I just received a JC Whitney
flyer and there is a VERY similar pump to the AC in there made by
Walbro. Adjustable pressure from 1-3/4 to 5 psi. Maybe this would be a
good alternative?
Don't know if it's a good price or not but it says "SAVE $8" over the
ad. Reg price 44.98 now 39.98. Must be a "New Math" graduate.
