The kits come with instructions plus there are instructions in the factory repair manuals, assuming there is a manual for your vehicle. Richard

It sounds like you are rebuilding a dual action fuel pump. The only source for a rebuild kit for this kind of pump that I know of, is the Antique Auto Center. http://www.maritimedragracing.com/antique_auto_parts_cellar.htm The kits include instructions. If you do not care about having the exact fuel pump that came on your car, new pumps are available at Rockauto.com Tom

If you are looking for a Ford/Mercury dual diaphragm fuel pump circa 1949-1953 try your local "Car Quest" parts store. Have them order an Airtex P/n 9597 fuel pump. It is a duplicate of the original and costs about $100.. If you wish to rebuild one, Dennis Carpenter sells the repair kits for about $40.00. It takes time to rebuild one but when finished, it will work

hi guys,thank you for your responces but sorry for the misleading info.the fuel pumps that i have are from a 46 and 47 engines.i don't think these are duel action,they don't have #s on them but say made in usa and 1 has the lettere BC on top.the two little things i was refering to(that i called diaphragms}must have confused us.these two little inlet&outlet valves i guess i mihgt call them are in the roof of the pump.it looks like they may be pressed in?.the new kit that i have does not have any instructions so how do i remove them & replace them? thanks again,

You are looking at the valves in the pump. Typically, they are "staked" into place by using a punch at the edges. It can be tricky to do, particularly if it has been done before, or the pump body is very old, and the valves must be placed correctly for the inlet and outlet positions. For the most part, rebuilding kits usually cost about half the price of a new pump, making rebuilding hardly worth the effort. Also, be aware that many older kits are not "fuel proof" for alcohol, even if the vendor says they are
