Guest Tusler 49 New Yorker Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 hi,My fuel pump is leaking while the car is running...not good for gas mileage:rolleyes:I removed the pump, the bowl is and all internal parts are spotlessly clean.I do not see any tares or holes in the diaphragm but as it looked like the gas was coming from the breather hole on top there must be a pin hole somewhere. so my next question is does anyone have a source for me to buy either a rebuild kit or a whole fuel pump. I see there is one on ebay for $259 but I don't want to spend that much money for what should be a $50 pump.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiftyfour Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I think antique auto cellars is also now " then and now automotive". they have rebuild kits, maybe the whole pump already done. captden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tusler 49 New Yorker Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 It actually took me a little longer than it should have, I did not check the new pump in and out positions before I installed it and they were reversed, so I had to remove it and reassemble the bottom on the body correctly and then reinstall it.Sooo...I am a little more knowledgeable about fuel pump removal and install on 1949 Mopar straight 8's than I use to be..
