Fuel pump rebuild kit? Source? Help?
My 65 (maybe 69) 240 fuel pump ought to be rebuilt or replaced I think. Doing a frame up restore and plan on taking a 2000 mile trip in the pickup next year. Engine is off, getting painted and the fuel pump is off too.
I have looked at several pumps in person at various parts places, and seen pictures on eBay. None really look like my pump. Mine seems to have about 9 screws around the base of the filter/pump assembly and seems to be made to be disassembled and repaired. Thats in contrast to the replacement pumps I have seen.
I'd like to just replace the rubber parts -- the arm looks to be in good condition as is the rest of the pump.
Anyone know of a source for a fuel pump rebuild kit? Other advice? Would really appreciate it.

I bought a new one with a lifetime warentee from Advance Auto for $12. I ordered one for a 76 because I didnt want the filter canister and it was cheaper without it. I wouldnt worry if the new one doesnt look like the old one, just make sure you have a filter in there somewhere.
I can say for sure that an electric pump is worth its weight in rocks. When they die, you are stuck. Mechanical ones atleast will get you home if the diaphram breaks.
