There are a lot of places to buy them. You must make sure you get a good kit. Quite a lot are junk. I got a good one from a co in Mass. Ken in Ct. also sells good parts.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the pumps with the glass bowls are later than '46. Your car is a driver like mine, we can never make them totally original. Just make it functional and enjoy the car. Buy a new Airtex pump #571. Around $45 and you will have a warranty so if the new gas eats it up, take your receipt and the pump back to the store and get a new one. Mike

Glass bowl pumps started in the 4th quarter of 46. Page 5-7 of the 41 - 48 Ford book. Everyone who has one of these cars and does any work on it needs this book. It can be ordered on this site

We stopped rebuilding fuel pumps a long time ago. By the time you pay for a good kit with all the parts, including a new lever, valves, and spring, you have reached over half the cost of a new pump. If your pump was rebuilt previously, you may have problems staking the valves in place, as well.

Speedway Motors sells an Offenhauser fuel pump with a glass bowl for $50 plus shipping. I agree that rebuilding a fuel pump with the current kits available is not a good idea. A new pump will last many years and is worth the extra few dollars. Tom This message was edited by TomO on 5-4-11 @ 8:14 AM
