1933 Model B Help/Fuel Pump
 

Hello, I am new to this site and a novice on old Ford’s. I’m hoping someone can help me with a couple things:
- I inherited this car a couple of years ago. Best I can tell, it’s a 1933 Ford Model B Tudor Deluxe. That is how it’s titled, but I can’t seem to verify that by the serial number (VIN)…..B5206288. Can anyone help me verify the serial number?
- It doesn’t seem to be pumping fuel, which got me looking at the fuel pump. From what I’m seeing, this doesn’t seem to the correct fuel pump? (See pic) Can someone help me verify what is the correct fuel pump?

I’ve attached pics of the car, serial number, engine, and fuel pump.

I would appreciate any help I can get!

Kevin

Your engine/frame number of B5206288 would put your engine/transmission assembly in April of 1933 and Domestically, there were 79 1933 Tudor Deluxe sedans made with a 4cyl engine. Quite an unusual 33 you have. As others have mentioned, "technically" you have an aftermarket type fuel pump/have the incorrect fuel pump that the car "originally" came with, Deuce Lover as well as Mercman (A perfectly detailed 33 4cyl engine) have posted the "correct" fuel pump pictures for you.
I own a 1933 4 Door with a 4cyl so I am very happy to see another 33 4cyl alive and kicking. Welcome and thank you for sharing. As you will find, the 33/34's with 4cyl's are few and far between.....most survivors have been converted to V8's over the years.

I believe you can rebuild the fuel pump to help get the car going. Third Gen Auto in Tenn should have the rebuilding kit (same as the V8 pump) for 48 Ford also get the glass fuel bowl corkpreem gasket. They may have another fuel line to the Carb. and NAPA has a paper filter that will work in the glass bowl #3039

Re: 1933 Model B Help/Fuel Pump
 

As for the "proper" fuel line, Dave Renner at Renner's Corner will have the 'proper" pre-bent copper fuel line - Rennerscorner.com (743) 428-8424. Also Dave will have ALL the proper re-build parts for the original fuel pump as well as your carburetor IF you need that. IF you post a picture of your Carburetor, there are a "few" different versions of the Zenith from 1932 to "post" 1934, it will help to know which one you have for the correct parts.


NOT to step on TerryOH's toes, as he mentioned Michael at Third Gen Automotive in McMinnville TN is always a great source to have close at hand and always warrants a call for your needs.

Fuel supply line from pump to carburetor,




Which will NOT work with the current fuel pump.

Charlie [NY] rebuilt my 4 cyl pump. Newc

Re: 1933 Model B Help/Fuel Pump
 

SAME here, except two for me......on there way back as we speak!!!

Re: 1933 Model B Help/Fuel Pump
 

My '32 Model B is running on a Charlie rebuild also. I had another fuel pump on the '32 when I bought it,runs fine with it also but looks a little different and I think it is stamped or marked Made in England. David Renner parts are also great and he usually sends instructions with his parts.

Original Carburetor & Fuel Pump

Re: 1933 Model B Help/Fuel Pump
 

Well, it looks like I came to the right place! Thank you very much to all for the assistance and for the comments on the car! I will probably get a rebuild kit for the current fuel pump while I look for a correct fuel pump and lines.

I can’t believe this car is one of 79! That’s amazing to me. Rockfla, can you point me to the reference for that, please?

I’ve also added some pics of the interior and carb. Please excuse the picture quality. Not the best lighting out in the barn these days.

Re: 1933 Model B Help/Fuel Pump
 

Now from seeing the pics of the interior, the dash is a Standard(no ash tray or cigarette lighter). Rear seat ashtrays are '34.If it was originally a Standard,deluxe features were added such as rear seat armrests and cowl lights as well as dual horns. Other Std features from the factory are a single horn painted black, 2 bulb headlite reflectors, single tailite on drivers side and single sunvisor.Here is a '33 Standard V8 that I owned a few yrs ago. Windshield should be black and not chrome.

If in fact your '33 is a Standard 4 cyl , domestic production was 2,875 .
