Yes Pete, I was going to check with the link that someone else posted about rebuilding a pump. Rebuilding the old pump is the best idea. Plus it keeps it more original too;)
The pump is a Delco (ugh sacrilege) I will post up the numbers on it and see if any place has rebuild kits for them. Is it true that the BB chevy's took the same pumps as SB fords? If so, that might make sense why it is a delco. |

The pump only says AC on the part leading to the body of the pump, and the numbers stamped on it are 40960. Other than that all is has for other stampings/ markings is made in USA on the bottom ring.
I'm assuming AC stands for AC delco, as the script looks to be the same as AC delco. edit.. I sent an email to then and now automotive with the info I have above. Hopefully they have a rebuild kit. I assume I won't hear back from them until Monday. Does any other place exist for getting pump rebuild kits? |

Then and now got back to me. They only rebuild this fuel pump themselves and do not sell kits to rebuild them. It will be 100 dollars for them to do this, and then I would have to pay shipping each way as well.
A new one from DIM is 80 dollars, plus shipping. The new one is the better deal IMHO |

The boat ran very well today. I put a couple of hours on it. The choke operates perfectly, and it had no stumble at all, not even at idle. I didn't smell or see any excess gas coming from the primaries, or out of the exhaust. PSI of the fuel was at 7.5 every time I lifted the motor box.

The fuel pump.
The old one was only putting out 4 psi or so. |
