    Anybody know where I can get a new fuel pump for my 291ci Desoto hemi?

    If I have to, I guess I could go electric, but the car is still 6volt and I don't know where to look for one of those either!

    Any help would be appreciated!

    The LA 'adapter' although used by some is not really a good fit. Easy to compare the position of the arms by making a pencil tracing of each, overlay one on the other. The contact point is just not in a great location.

    There are some on ebay on a semi-regular basis.

    Thanks for the replies! I ordered gaskets from Rockauto. The fuel pump works, just leaks a little. Hopefully the gaskets cure the problem!

    What happened to the days when you could get a fuel pump rebuild kit at your local auto parts store?:confused:
