usa parts has them for the 64 all v8 300 and 330 engines for $38.58. www.usapartssupply.com 1-800-872-2013. might also check with www.nosgm.com. im surprised that your local auto parts store cant get them. if those dont work you might pick up a hemmings catalog and go through the section covering oldsmobiles. im sure you could find something there. chris

It sounds like you need to get the car running in a hurry...I would buy a universal electric pump that you could mount to the frame near where the factory mechanical fuel pump is. With a power signal switched on by the ignition and a ground, you would be back in business. NAPA and other larger automotive stores sell pumps like this. Just be sure it does not supply too much pressure...I would guess a factory carb would not like more than 8-9psi (just my own guess).
Best of luck. |

Put the electric pump back near the fuel tank, electrics push not pull. And put a switch in the 12 volt line to the pump for safety purposes.

I forgot that electric fuel pumps push. OldsGuy is correct - mount the electric pump near the tank.

Check out Fusicks and Kanter. They will probably also have what you want. Also, I have heard good things about the rebuild kits for mechanical fuel pumps. I have never used one of the rebuild kits, but a mechanical fuel pump is a simple device. I don't think it would be too difficult.

Fusick's lists the correct fuel pump for your '64 in their catalog. A few other places to call are:
Arizona Vintage Parts 800-433-977 GM Obsolete 602-253-8081 Terrill Mechine 254-893-2610 Best of luck. |

You need to be sure and get one that has been rebuilt with materials that tolerate modern fuels. Otherwise the diaphrams will disintegrate very quickly. Stay away from high-priced NOS units for the same reason.
