Rebuild kit for fuel pump ?

I have an Edelbrock 1792 electric fuel pump thats in need of a rebuild. I know these are made by Essex Industries. Its been on the car since last spring. Maybe 600 miles.
Anyway it needs rebuilt and I cant find a kit anywhere. Holley rebuilds come up but I'm sure this is a bit different. I need new vanes and a brass excentric. This one is scored and the vanes dont slide well. Any info or help is greatly appreciated.
Going to try 2 local speed shops tomorrow and also edlebrock direct.

Thanks man.
Called the techline today to find out they dont make rebuild kits for the Quiet Flow electric pumps 1791 & 1792. $236.99 down the drain in just over a year.
Thanks again Edelbrock, you win again.
Beware everyone to stay away from these pumps. Nice when they work, bad when they dont.
Time to shop for a Holley pump.

Why don't you run a Mallory 140? They are rebuildable and fairly quiet...Don't get a Holley, I have a blue on my car and I can hear it over the car at idle. It's LOUD, I can hear it over long tubes, 3" exhaust, 2 chamber flows, and DUMPED in front of the rear axle. Go for a Mallory

I will. I ran a red pump years ago with a mechanical and the pump was loud a s hell. Sounded like it was grinding coffee beans. I was going to look into the new gearotor pumps by holley but I've had enough of their stuff too. Mallory it is! thanks

Hey Jim, if you get the Mallory kit 4142 it comes with a return style regulator. This is the kit I am going to get when I get the car back together.
