Well it always pays to check with your Local Mopar parts supplyer, I think I have a new Hemi Pump with Bowl in stock, I know I have a re-built waterpump complete with housing, you just never know what I have around the place here in Qld  unless you check,  I am not just the guy who makes all the Mopar Lenses and Emblems, George.

  Hi John,

  Good advise that's works if you have an original pump. Or access to
  original parts. If you don't, what next? Living half way around the
  world in OZ, you can't even find an old second hand Hemi pump from a
  junk yard for a rebuild. So we become more reliant upon the bigger
  restoration suppliers like Kanters who ship OS. The real problem is, on
  the surface, this all seems no problem, the fact that Kanters state they
  have a new replacement pump with a bowl for a '58 392, and they are
  happy to sell it to me as such, Sadly it is very close, but
  unfortunately from experience it has proven to be a disastrous
  combination that when fitted has potentially damaged my fresh and
  expensive engine. Firstly, I would hope to spare any other members from
  this experience. 

  Secondly, I should simply ask the list, who (what supplier) can reliably
  supply me with a rebuilt original pump with bowl, without me furnishing
  a core for rebuilding?

  I am sure somebody has some recent experience and knows these answers.

  issues!!

  As a general rule, whether a fuel pump, water pump, generator,
  alternator, etc, I try to rebuild or have someone else rebuild my
  original unit, then I know it is the right one for the application,
  having been on the car for a number of decades already.

  Subject: [Chrysler300] 300 D AC finshing touches!......& Fuel Pump
  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
