Fuel Pump for 1957 Skyliner

[57Skyliner]

Looking for a fuel pump for a 1957 Skyliner with a 312. I'd like to find one with the glass bowl. I've looked on FR Parts Store, MACS, and Dennis Carpenter with no luck. If a fuel pump isn't available I would settle for a rebuild kit.

Does anyone have a source for the fuel pump or rebuild kit?

There are some on e-bay.

I wouldn't waste my money on a original pump unless you know for sure that it rebuilt with ethanol proof seals, I would suggest a electric fuel pump and you can use the original one for a block off plate. If for some reason you use a electric fuel pump and pump through the mechanical pump you will need to use a blocking plate to keep gas from going into the engine or use the electric one to prime only if you have a working mechanical pump.

Claude Phillips does fuel pump rebuilding with the correct parts for the new type gasoline. He has done several of them for me. They were great. His telephone is 618 842-3948. Address is Rt4 Box 220 Fairfield, Il 62837 Ron B
