Which fuel pump for 1938 60hp?

[jason78613]

I have a 1938 standard, 60hp, and want to get a new mechanical fuel pump.

I was looking at model 11a-9350 sold by Bob Drake and a few others that looks like the right one, but then I read on an ebay listing that this model does not fit the 60hp. (https://ebay.us/edVO7D)

Any suggestions/clarifications?

I would contact "Charlie ny" on here about having the original rebuilt. It's probably a better bet than taking a "crap shoot" on eBay. It's a similar situation as the 81/"uncle max" deal.

(If you don't have an original, he may also be able to help.)

It's been my experience with some new fuel pumps currently offered by our suppliers, that they will produce fuel pressures that are too high for Stromburg carburators to handle. To correct this, I have replaced the coil spring below the diaphragm with a spring from an original fuel pump, to keep fuel pressure at ~ 2 to 3 psi. If you have your fuel pump rebuilt by Charlie NY, I know he would make sure the psi is correct.

Thank you! My carb (81) is packed up and ready to ship out tomorrow to Uncle Max! Do you have Charlie's contact info? I tried sending him a private message here but it says I can only send a PM if I've made at least 10 posts. :-(

The fuel pump is the same, it is a matter of clocking the top in the right position. Remove 6 screws and set it to fit.

Jason,
The 60 hp pump is non glass bowl and is the smaller diameter type used
from '33 to'35 and some early '36. As Jack says it is clocked one index from the bigger
V8's,,,,,I've got some. [email protected] 716 440 8952.

JM is right, every pump I've got from Charlie has the tested pressure written on it. So yeah, they're the thing I wanna run. Send it off, bolt it on, move on to another unknown issue.
