I was just told by my supply store they do not carry mechanical fuel pumps anymore...just electric. I want to stay with the mechanical pump!
Can anyone lead me to a supplier who can provide me with one. I called AC and Airtex but they only sell to distributors. Maybe I am old school...evryone says go electric. I currently have a electric pump because the mechanical crapped out late last summer and I wanted something quick to get a few more weeks of driving.
If I were to go electric, what happens to the mechanical pump? Do I need to change anything on the carb? And now the stupid question....what controls fuel flow?
Sorry for the Jr high questions but I have a limited budget and have already purchased other parts for spring projects that are vital for the engine i.e. timing chain and water pump gaskets and a complete tune up kit.

 

What engine, car? Fusick carries a few for the Cutlass line, just don't know your application. 394ci ?

 

USA Parts Supply shows them in their catalog.

Fusick has them too, full size catalog.

I just checked their online catalog, it does not appear that they have fuel pumps for the 394. They offer a rebuilding service for a couple of part numbers, you may want to give them a call. 860-623-1589

 

Both Fusicks and USA Parts supply offer a rebuilding service. A pain. They both carry 65 pumps for $ 45. ( missed it by 1 year) For some reason I wasn't worried all winter regarding availability. Got to do some budget work!! ( no flowers for the little lady this year ha ha)
Thanks for the leads. Looks like I will be sending it out. But if anyone knows of a company that has them in stock pls give me shout

 

check out e-bay

You won't find many, if any, places that stock these. I'm leery of one that's been sitting on the shelf awhile too- modern fuels can destroy the diaphrams in less than 100 miles.

Send your core off and have it rebuilt using ethanol-resistant materials. Yes, a little aggravation, but a fact of modern life with a non-mainstream old car.

 

I spoke to Fusicks and they have a better price then USA parts. They have rebuilt in stock and designed for todays crap fuel. I have the pump out and will send it to them for a core deposit. Thanks all for your advice.
