Lake Powell Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Last time I checked...they were still in the NAPA catalogue. If not, I have seen them advertised in Hemmings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Wolf Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Most pumps are pulse, and isolated so the positive/ neg doesn't matter.I got one at Auto Zone about 3 years ago,it was like $40 though.The one I got before that I got a TSCMost of the 6 volt use today is on old tractors.

Tom M Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Ken,This electric pump I have install on my '31 Packard is a AC-DELCO #EF-11. It was a bellows pump at one time but they have changed it to?, I am not sure the style they call it now but I have not had any problems since they change it. Before when it was the old bellows type the rubber inside had got eaten up by today?s gas this is why I think they since have changed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K8096 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I've been told that Kanter has them too, but they're not listed in the catalog. You have to call & ask about them. Keep in mind you're going to need a preasure regulator too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom M Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Hi Ken,The pump you just order looks like a bellows type. The link doesn't describe what style it is. Do you know?Also it sure looks similar to the AcDelco pump I had installed on my car and it went out within a year. As I mention in a previous post.Here is a post I placed in the Packard Forum awhile back on the problems I had. 31 Std 8 Fuel Pump Problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JT Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 You might find a nos 6 volt pump made by Faucet/Purolator on ebay which I believe is the one NAPA carried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenimpzoom Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 HI thanks for the info.I'll let you know the details of the pump when I get it.I did call CarQuest and they gave me two parte numbersAirtex P/N E84259 was a vane type pump, positive or negative ground, for $102 dollarsAC-DELCO E8011 (replacement for EP-11) but was told this was for a negative ground only (perhaps the guy was wrong).Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 while looking thru my new best friend, the JC whitney catolog, I notice they sell several pumps with three levels of pressues.On our older cars 1920's, a 2 to 4 lbs pump is all that is needed.

1913Moline Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 The Airtex pump is one which I have had on quite a number of cars and have never had a failure. I have failed just about every other type of pump. It just has two wires coming out of it- gold colored with a clamp around a round body.I remember it having an E8011 part number. I always use them with a NAPA pressure regulator.When you are laying on the side of the road getting full of gasoline, the extra $25 bucks you spend for a good pump wont seem as significant. The Walbro and other pumps with cast aluminum bodies are nothing but trouble.My 2cents worth.greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
