I noticed the pump was leaking today, pulled it apart, and as I suspected the diaphragm is cracked. I have searched for a rebuild kit with no luck. I did a search here and found this question asked before, but never saw a sufficient answer. Can anyone point me in the right direction for parts to rebuild this pump?

The only difference was it had a metal top cover instead of a glass one.Works perfect. Cost about $65.00. The local Napa parts store also had one for about $75.00.
Hope this helps, Stan | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 | The only problem with the metal top replacement pump is that it does mot have any filtration inside like the glass bowl pumps. Without the internal screen there is nothing protecting the check valves.
With that style pump I would recommend putting a filter before the pump.

I saw a new fuel pump from Napa and other folks. But, I wanted to keep the look of the original glass bowl.
I ordered the diagphram that 'Pre68Dave turned me onto. It looks the same as what I need. If not, I will order the Jim Carter kit....although pricy.
