| I have a 1957 Dodge D 500 single four barrel.
Question for the group:
Does the original fuel pump, have a glass bowl attached to the bottom of the fuel pump? That is what is on my car and I have one, which was removed that id like to rebuild, if its correct.
Thanks Bob |

Location: Connecticut | No. That's an aftermarket. Glass bowl for fuel filter is up by carb. Ron |

Location: Ontario, Canada | I agree. Glass bowl at the base of the fuel pump was a 58 thing.

| Yes I have two. One glass sediment bowl attached to the bottom of the pump and another glass bowl at the carb. |

Location: The Mile High City | Not sure I've seen the glass bowl on the bottom of the pump. I've had several '58s, but none of them had anything other than the regular-looking pump. Many of mine have had the carter glass bowl and (hard - like a porous rock) filter near the carb end.

Location: Sept. 1958 | Some 58 engines had glass bowl fuel pumps, the B block in particular, Carter model 2662S, which I believe 1959s also had them? Not sure about 1957.

Location: Ontario, Canada | I think 58, 354s and 392s all were originally equipped with glass bowl fuel pumps. They also used those same ceramic filter elements.

Location: Ontario, Canada | Incidentally, those Carter bowl type fuel filters also had a small but powerful magnet secured in the aluminum housing to attract/remove any steel filings etc. from the system. A very efficient method.
