I need a fuel pump rebuilt for 59AB. Does anybody know anybody that can do the job? Thanks for the help.

Fredb_ · 02-04-2014, 11:32 AM

I "rebuilt" the original on my '38 with a couple of parts I purchased online. I had a tip from someone on here during the process, but it was pretty easy really. Here's the thread.

If you have the glass bowl filter pump and it DOES NOT have "AC" on the top it is not rebuildable. The valves are pressed in place and of a special size.
If you need another pump I would suggest Charlie Schwindler in NY he uses a special diaphragm material.

Ken....LOL

Not necessoryly so,you have to split the pump in 1/2 and look see in the top 1/2 if theres a little bracket w/2 small screws in it which holds the valves in. Those can be rebuilt.I have the parts to rebuild these. The new diaphragm must be transferred to the old stem.I have a way of doing this or I sell the new diaph. with the stem already attached. ken ct.

These pumps are typically not difficult to rebuild. However, if you are weary of taking this project on, I would suggest as others have, contacting
Charlie Schwindler in New York.
A very honest and ethical fellow that truly does good work.

I will echo earlier sentiments, if you are not comfortable with rebuilding it yourself, send it to Charlie NY, you'll be glad you did.

Thanks for heads up. I have been burnt in the past. Buying Carbs. or dist. that were sand blasted and painted w/ rattle cans. Then you try to call the guy up. They hang the phone up on you and call you names. I don't know how they stay in business. I glad we have Fordbarn and the Hamb so we find the right people to buy from and do business with. Peace

I too fell victim to A "mr rattlecan", for my 295 dollar re-built carb that leaked , only to send it to Charlie for a 168 dollar re-rebuild . no problems now. Even got a follow up phone call,, to make sure. He,s the best. I like to here about the good guys and the not so good guys. Thats what this place is all about.
