This Starfire came with the wrong fuel pump, a cheap electrical one at that. So not only do I need a good fuel pump but I need one to either rebuild or trade in as a core.....or else be on the hook for a rather expensive fuel pump. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

 

I've got a core if you don't come up with a rebuilt one. I'm located in Oregon.

Thank you John. I will let you know. I live in Georgia. Rickey

 

Fusick has them. I bought one there for my '55.

 

You can swap in a new fuel pump out of a 63-64 for cheap, with no dual diaphragm and add a Newport electric wiper system to work your wipers and actually drive in the rain with no worries, Easy swap both ways. Tedd

 

Hope you can get a replacement installed. Keep us posted. 👍

 

Number # 1 ) The 1963 - 1964 Oldsmobile single action Fuel Pump has been DISCONTINUED / OBSOLETE for over 25 years....

Number # 2 ) The 1963 - 1964 Oldsmobile single action Fuel Pump has a wild " U shaped " arm , whereas the 1955 - 1957 Oldsmobile Fuel Pump is almost " straight across ".....

Craig....

Since the O N L Y 1955 - 1957 Oldsmobile Fuel Pump you can purchase, is a REPRODUCTION, there is N O C o r e Charge ---
I can save you money on the REPRODUCTION == NEW == Fuel Pump, if you would like --- 516 - 485 - 193five......

 

Mobile parts,

Okay, will call you in the morning.

 

Olds64,

I will keep you advised. BTW, great news. My Dad got the electrical top, windows and seats to working!

 

Mobile parts,

My apologies for not getting back to you earlier, but late last night I bought one of the very few fuel pumps offered on eBay. Otherwise I have been at work all day. Rickey

 

Hey, if you don't care, I certainly don't care....

This way they love you --- you paid the full retail price plus tax, and through e bay, plus tax on shipping.....
So, essentially, you threw away $ 75...... I hope, for your sake, you don't do that every day.....

Do you realize that if you throw away $ 75 a day, that would amount to $ 27,375 a year (except next year, 2024 is a leap year...).....

Have a ni$$$e day......

 

It's worth it not to deal with smarta$$ yankees. With your post you lost me as a future customer too. .

 

Rickey,

Over the last couple of years, I've had quite an adventure with fuel pumps for the 324. First I got 2 different pumps from Fusick. They both failed. Then, I did exactly what you did, bought a fuel pump from eBay. I used the Fusick rebuild kit. Be careful on the direction of the check valves when you replace them. This one lasted a year. Then it failed. The current one has lasted, so far, about 6 months, so far so good.

My guess is the material in the check valves is failing, but just a guess.

https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...p-324-a-162259 Here's my thread. Might help with some info.

Good luck!

 

Never say never. @mobileparts has a lot of stuff and has been a help to many CO members.

 

I have nothing in this game and don't know either party but I don't think some of mobileparts comments were necessary.

 

I think this is what you meant and if that's the case I will agree that some of his comments may have been a little over the top. I just think that in this hobby, it's unwise to burn bridges -- you never know who you might need.

 

Thanks, it arrived quickly and we put it on. So far so good. The one I bought was a remanufactured part, and comes with a money back guarantee and a 1 year warranty.

 

He sent me a reply by the private message route. Needless to say those bridges are burned and hauled away.
