Looking to find a fuel pump for a 1954 Olds 88 Rocket. If you have one or know where I could get one I would be very interested.

Thanks

Those pumps are rebuildable and several people do it. They'll also upgrade the materials to be compatible with modern gasoline. Arthur Gould comes to mind- search the forums for his name and you'll get his contact info.

For that reason, I would not pay the inflated price for an NOS unit, or even an older rebuild. Those paper diaphrams would last about 100 miles in modern gas.
