Guest James Conkwright Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hi. Does anyone have advice on fuel pump rebuild kits for my '50 Special? I have been looking at a few places and found two very different prices on the rebuild kits. One company is inching towards 100.00 while the other is in the 50.00 range. I wonder if there is any difference in the kits? I have always liked the more expensive western company because I trust them and have never ordered from its eastern counterpart. Both are major Buick suppliers. I know shelf life is an issue. Any advice is appreciated.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special55 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Give these guys a tryAntique Auto Parts CellarYou may also want to look at Willie's thread in the post war forum about fuel pump diaphram material. If everything else is ok you might just decide to make up a new diaphram and call it a day.Good luck.Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest James Conkwright Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Thanks for the quick responses. I had never heard of them. I gave them a call and they said I needed to get the model number that is stamped on the pump. I'll do that shortly and give them a call back.

Guest James Conkwright Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Just ordered it. Good price too! Only 59.00. Thanks for the help. They seemed like nice people. Should be here in 3-5 days and I'll be getting the car fixed next week. Now I can drive the car stress free again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
