302 HMM Fuel Pump

Still have the original?

I was able to rebuild mine,turned out pretty good and works great. I
also added a fitting to add a sight tube.

This was the replacement I used while rebuilding,the inlet and outlet are different but a longer hose fixed the inlet and since I use
and Aeroquip hose for the outlet it was no trouble. Keep in mind
the Aeroquip is not CG approved. The other problem is that the sight
tube fitting is out the rear of the pump which then hits the oil
pressure extension tube. I removed and plugged it and put it to
the front.






Here is a link for the canister,and here is where I got the rebuild kit. On the pump there are
numbers on the flange that they will need so if you call have the
pump handy. No need to mention that it's marine because it's not
and second many places will not sell you marine rebuild parts. Just about any marine Ford pump will fit with maybe the above mentioned
mods but few if any have the filter. If you choose to use one you
may want to install a fuel/water seperator. If you end up with a
new pump and are going to get rid of the old one,let me know.

I believe he has just misidentfied the filter can on the pump Pete. Back in the good old days of Ford industrial engines they all had these pumps. I in fact got my canister from our mechanic at work,at the time he had several in stock.You used to be able to buy them at our Farm&Fleet too.
The place that sells the rebuild kit also has the screws at an extra charge so you can make it look like new.

David,
I see you were on site yesterday so what's up? Common courtesy dictates some kind of response. You ask, we deliver and nothing from you!!??

How about some pictures of the boat? A diary entry if the boat is a CC would be great too. Tell us more.

David,
Thanks for responding however I'm not to sure the picture posted is worth it due to that junk Fram filter you have on the engine!! Yes, if you do some research, they are the worst out there. All marketing hype and poor filtering.

That engine is BEAUTIFUL! I too would like to see the boat. It looks like you may have the original fuel pump and filter canister on the engine now. It is a bit hard to see in the photo but i'm pretty sure. I will be watching this to see how it progresses. I have been distracted on another "emergency" project again and haven't gotten anything done on my Mustang yet.

I commonly see the fuel line hacked like yours has been between the fuel pump and the carburetor by adding an inline filter. Some people apparently don't realize that the fuel pump canister contains a filter that is much larger than the puny inline they placed between the fuel pump and the carburetor. I guess that is for fuel that picks up a lot of contamination between the fuel pump and the carburetor. The fuel pump canister allows moisture to separate from the fuel and sink to the bottom. The originals are frequently rusted out because few owners take them off periodically to dump the water and replace the filter. It is much better to have a steel line between the fuel pump and carburetor. all of the added rubber lines and fittings are potential leaks, as is the cheap plastic in-line filter. I don't like fuel leaks in boats.
BTW what carburetor is on the engine. It looks like the original Autolite C8AF AE carburetor on there too. Don't let that slip through your hands!!!! It will be more expensive than the fuel pump to replace. It was used on very early Shelby GT350s, police interceptors, and some race cars built by Holman Moody but not generally on "regular" cars. There are owners out there who would love to find that. It is a bit odd that they have removed the oil pressure sending unit and replaced it with a mechanical gauge under the dog house. also, that ugly green color on the throttle and shift brackets appears to be original. Every H/M that I have seen that were unmolested were like that including both of mine.
Autolite C8AF AE
I would like to hear more about your project.
Here is where you will find the X on your Carter X. They were rated for higher fuel flow than the standard units and were used on some performance BBFs, particularly the FE motors and also on nearly all Holman Moody and Shelby engines.

I don't know John,looks like a 2 bbl to me.If it is it's the 200 hp model like mine.

Wood motor box too John,I wonder if the back seat is wood or glass? More pictures please David!

What is the serial number David ?,one that John had and mine were 27 boats apart! Mine is 2567 built in December 68
