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.
later.....

I ultimately found these folks and talked them in detail over the phone. seemed very knowlegeable. I have a kit in the mail. Cost $30, which is 50% more than a new moderm pump from Advance Auto -- but I wanted to keep the original.
