Hello everyone.
The fuel pump on my 1956 special 46r /322 v8 seems
to be leaking. My question is, are their rebuild kits
available? Is it a big project, should I look for a whole new pump, Etc???

Thanks,
Tom V

A number of years back I'd purchased a replacement fuel pump from Kanter - there's a core charge refunded if you send yours back in.

Of course, after sitting a number of years, the fuel system will need to be gone over again.

Kits are available. Check your service manual for the rebuilding procedure to see what is involved, then go for it. Then check with these nice folks for the kit.
