Location: Northen Virginia | I have a $154 Edelbrock fuel pump that quit last night, apparently it is not a repair kit for it, so it is a very expensive disposable item. I probably did 500 miles to it but spent a long time sleeping in the car, since i don't use it that much. Fortunately I had an electric pump back up who brought me back home.
I see that they are $20 pumps at rock auto, any idea if they are any good? Specially for cars are not been used daily like mine.

Location: So. Cal | Those cheap replacement pumps work fine. The only issues with them is their looks, and when they fail, they can leak fuel into the engine and potentially cause damage that way. |

Location: Sept. 1958 | My 61 NYer has one of those cheaper replacements. Runs fine, been on there maybe 10-15 years. Bought a 2769S core that I’ll install sometime. Who sells fuel pump rebuild kits? Denis, could you check your NYer, is there a spacer under the carburetor? I installed a 3134S over the weekend and dialed it in. But with just a thin gasket it didn’t mount flush with the intake. Either there should be a spacer or the heads of the bolts for the choke are too tall. Someone had installed an incorrect looking spacer and thicker gaskets. |

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | I've bought a couple of Airtex pumps for other US cars and they have not given any grief yet.
One Chevelle SS owner requried specially the Edelbrock pump. I noticed that it did not give full capacity, but it still works, BUT that car has not been drive 500 miles yet...... |

The M2662S pump utilized a glass bowl on the bottom, used in 1958 and I think 1959 as well. |

Thanks a lot guys, I already order one of those carter pumps. yes the looks sucks but what are you going to do. I still have the original and another NOS but the idea of Ethanol in a 60 year old rubber it is just not appalling to me.
Matt, it is a company selling kits, it was recommended by Ron in another post...No it was not special gasket on my carb except the regular grey one. The studs are pretty short for adding a Bakelite gasket in there. I'm running and Edelbrock carb and is working fine.

Location: NorCal | I believe the Edelbrock pump is just a copy of the old Carter 3-valve pump. One of these might work:

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | That's very plausible since the Edelbrock carbs is a Carter copy, even nozzles and needles interchange... |

Hello Denis,
Unfortunately, Edelbrock does not make any rebuild kits for their mechanical pumps. You will likely have to purchase a new one.
We appreciate your business
Thank you,

Location: Northen Virginia | well Sven, the kit cost almost $70 too, apparently buying this generic Carter pump seems the most affordable option.
Now, restoring an original pump is a matter of try and error as far i can see. |

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | I have only renovated Olds dual action pumps (vaccin and fuel) recently Denis. The kits was expensive and still needed some work. The pumps works very nice through.
You're right $70 plus the work is too high |
