Just for general information, fuel pump rebuild kits can be acquired from Antique Auto Parts Cellar, web site www.then-now.com phone 781 335-8860. Any pump that can be disassembled by removing several screws can be rebuilt. I have done two so far. The task was easy with included instructions and both have worked flawlessly.
