I work as a fleet manager for someone who has a 33 BB with the 8 cylinder flat head. The information I have is this is stock and was rare as it normally has a 4 cylinder. He purchased it several years back and had a half way restoration on it. It currently has fuel problems. I found debris and rust in the fuel tank, lines, pump and carb. The tank has been sent out to Rock Valley in Illinois, to be rebuilt in stainless. I've taken on the rest and have started with the fuel pump. I ordered a rebuild kit from Dennis Carpenter and a few problems have come up. The pump is the early model with NO glass bowl. Dennis Carpenter says there is only the 2 early pumps. My pump has different check valves they are not in a brass housing and the filter has 2 holes not one. I've run into a few differences between the BB and B models. Is there another kit to purchase? Could I replace this pump with the one sold on the B model? any help would be great thanks in advance.

Take your "original" fuel pump and carburetor and put them in a box. Next get a pen and a label and address it to:

He is CharlieNY here on the barn!!!!
Next wait a few weeks until he calls or emails you, give him the $$$ and when they arrive back to you, bolt them back on and you are GOOD TO GO!!!!!!
ALSO IF you can post pictures of what you "actually" have....... there are MANY on here who can advise you BEST on what you have, IF it's correct, and the best people, way or process to achieve what you want with your project. Good luck and hope to see the 33 soon!!!!!
