Looking for a vintage fuel pump to suit my 216 happy to rebuild it.
The online numbers appear to be a GM 1523089 part, howeverthis is where i getlost, some are listed as 429s or 531s etc, what are these second setof numbers referring too?
If you must have original for a show truck then research is needed to your year. Most everyday use trucks avoid glass bowls for safety. Most NOS pumps need rebuilding and have the wrong internal parts for today's ethanol gas. Buy rebuilt ones from typical classic auto parts websites. If you need vacuum for wipers, look for dual action pumps.

Thanks, yes I went through those, but you can get the same part number with different additional numbers, example what is the difference between a pump 1523089 (429) and a pump 1523089 (531)
Do you need the pump with the fuel ports straight across or angled to the block? That varies by year. For my '53 which uses the angled ports I found one at The Filling Station.

GMC - Zenith carb. Chevrolet - Carter carb. up to 1950 then Rochester after. Consider required fuel pressure and flow. Funny thing is Carter made the M751 replacement pump to work on Chevy and GMC. That doesn't mean the AC pumps are the same though.

Meant to add, that model works well on my 216. Ports are straight across so had to reshape fuel lines. Inlet line runs very close to road draft tube but clears it.
Hey Steve! Now it's your turn. Tell us what you are working on. Pictures? If it's a 1950 Holden Ute then I'll be jealous.
Haha,
Had a fuel pump and fuel tank issue which is now fixed but I found out that my engine had a goss fuel pump fitted which is an aftermarket one, I like to try and keep it as close to factory original as I can, so was sourcing a replacement fuel pump, the prefix on the pumps is what was comfusing me, appreciate the photo you supplied helps heaps
She's a real beauty. Right hand drive. No wonder you were keeping her secret from us. I can imagine taking a road trip from Perth to Darwin on NH 95 and 1. Definitely a big positive on the "cool" meter. Thanks for sharing.
