Wow - an update I went to order a new fuel pump and Carter/American Classic
(is this the same company - since American Classic is driving Carter's web
site?) both jumped there price to $52.00. The best I now have is $44.50
from Chevy of the 40's - but I have had nothing but problems ordering from
them... The Filling Station wants $55 with a per-shipped core. And
Obsolete wants $72.50...
did any of you find a lower cost source?
Thanks,

Last week I posted problems with my 46 fuel pump (and I did the same as
John - described below) and was told by Bob ADler that I should get a new
fuel pump. In looking I found a rebuild kit at the Filling Station for
18.50. I am STOCK only, so the best I can find a new pump is for 39.00 from
Carter's.
My question, is it worth taking a risk and seeing if using the rebuild kit
will fix the problem or save some time and problems and spend the extra
20.00 bucks?
Thanks,

Does any one know where you can buy the repair kits for the double or
single action fuel pumps that were original on the Chevy's back in the
50's. Use to be able to buy them and repair your own pump. I have
rebuilt a many of them in my time.
