Technical Fuel pump weep hole question.

The one I had "professionally "rebuilt barely worked at all from a guy on the east coast,but I think the problem is the arm may not be right or the eccentric on the cam is wrong or bad?

 

Last one I bought was for the Studebaker and it was from Then and now Automotive.

Not 100% sure if they are still in business. I'm starting to look around for other non Studebaker places.

Here's a quick Goggle search:

Everything new is crap...

 

Seems to be

 

Found this if it helps (taken from a 1960 Carter catalog off of eBay)

 

Thank you, I'll keep that number handy

 

Went thru 4 of the good Carter fuel pumps. All were bad. Bought the cheap Carter pump. Working fine.

 

When I had the old mechanical pump on but not connected I could actually put my finger over the holes. And it really wasn't sucking or blowing much out of the pump Is compared to a full stroke in the vice on the bench.I figured that the arm Isn't contacting the eccentric enough. Being that I figured the arm is hardened,I cut a piece out of my other pumps. And welded it to the top where it contacts. It makes it a little taller by a little more than a sixteenth of an inch. I'll put it on today and see how it goes.

 

So I installed the pump and ran separate hoses into a bucket With gas so that I could run the engine and see what the actual fuel pump would do with the engine was running on the electric pump. The pump barely dribbled out anything. I Cut another piece off and welded it on. So now I've got a little more than an eighth of an inch taller on the arm. Put it back in and it was pumping as I think it should really nicely. So I hooked it all up so that we'll run off to mechanical pump and the electric when I need it. We'll see how it goes on the way home. From what I've seen on the internet. I need the pump for a hemi, but the water pump housing hits it because it sticks out furtheron the poly, but it does have the right arm on it.

 

Made it home fine.
