Hasn't been available new or repro for quite a while. If you can't find one from someone who is using a different engine, you can buy ball end sockets and rod from Vintage Speed, to make your own.

I have an extra one this size.
Shoot me a PM and I'll work something out with you if you want.

I looked everywhere for a REPRO and like Ross said they aren't out there. I made my own by going to our local farm store.

If you haven't been you ought to look one up. I get bolts, hoses, paint, grease, all kinds of stuff and it's usually as cheap as the internet. Best of all it's close and I get the stuff I need RIGHT NOW.

I got a new one I think it was from Charlie Price at Vintage Speed (Charlie Price's Vintage Speed | World's largest supplier of 50's – 60's Style Hot Rod fuel systems).
