"NOS" FUEL PUMPS (have you used one?)
Anyone out there buy and install a VINTAGE NOS fuel pump ? I mean like 50-70's vintage rebuildable and or not rebuildable types.
I'm having a dispute with an acquaintance who believes they'll fail because they have been sitting around.

They are more likely to fail because of the crappy corrosive ethanol

I don't believe they'll fail, I KNOW they'll fail. The voice of experience speaketh...
Modern gasoline formulations play hell with those old gasket and diaphram materials. I wouldn't bother installing an NOS unit without first rebuilding it with ethanol-resistant materials- you'll only end up doing the job again in a short time.

Agree whole heartedly, I have about eight NOS ones that I am going to scrap just for the die cast.
