RE: [Chrysler300] Fuel Pump issues!!

["Marianne" <marianne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Dennis & list,

 

It's bad that some major old car component suppliers can't supply us the
correct part they offer. What's the story? I am sure somebody out there
should know their stuff, and that the correct replacement pump may
actually exist.

 

Any further help on this from list members on a straight out correct new
replacement would be great. As yet, no supplier has said "not available"
but why send people the wrong part and the inconvenience it causes if
this is the case. It would be sad if we are relegated to rebuild status
only on such a major replacement component.

i had the same problem with my 392. i had a rebuilt pump on the bench
that looked identical to the stock one i took out of the car. when we
put the motor on the dyno however the pump itself was flexing. when i
put the two side by side the arms were slightly different.i think the
other pump was out of a poly or maybe a 318 w block

issues!!

Hello out there in 300 land!









 









Had the D completed for an important Chrysler event down under last




weekend! All was well, fully detailed, with 150 miles on the clock and




not an issue, Then.......Failed fuel pump and unfortunately then the




eccentric, on the way to the event!!









 









I sourced the pump from Kanters, after providing details & year of the




car, and they furnished what I believed to be an original style & fit




pump with the '58 fuel bowl underside. It went in easy, probably on the




low side of the eccentric in retrospect, but pumped like a champion




without any noise or issue for at least 150 miles. I figured it was




perfect! The horrible reality was that I think it was bottoming out in




the block pump arm cavity slightly, but this was loading up the




eccentric on the high side, until ultimately the pump arm had a radius




1/8" deep worn into it, and a similar groove in the eccentric, until the




eccentric failed and cut loose inside!









 









The wear was very uniform, and the pump was engaging the eccentric




squarely, even a professional mechanic didn't question its




function........until now!!









 









Rather tragic when you have a fully restored car stranded in the middle




of no mans land! I am sure many can relate to this however.









 









Has any body had any similar experiences with Kanter sourced pumps? Any




ideas on the correct and best original style pump to obtain?









 









I would hope this might act as a warning to other unsuspecting victims




of these pumps, which look the part, but aren't!









 









Also, would any body have source or ideas for rebuilt AC heater taps,




along for the oil control solenoid that controls the damper? Both mine




are leaking respectively.









 









I am also chasing the little fill in piece in the middle of the lower




inside window garnish, the matt black one on top of the dash for a '58.




kind of where the '57 mirror mount goes.









 









 









Regards









 









Sean in OZ
