the mechanical fuel pump for my 36 ford failed and I have ordered a new one compatible with the new fuels.If I install an electric fuel pump as a back up, do I have to bypass the mechanical pump or can I pump through it?

Mistake #1 ordering a new repop pump. All come from China and you will get a replacement pump similar to a correct pump but not the same. I have the correct ones in stock as original restored pumps if you care to call me I will explain more. ken ct 1-203-260-9780 cell.Done in the USA.

Hmmm...just ordered a new fuel pump, Airtex ATN571, for my 48 through Rock Auto, box says made in USA. Please set me straight before I bolt on something that came over on the Igitchi Maru. Has Airtex sold the brand to China?

Igitchi Maru - ? Really? Too much Discovery Channel for someone here...or maybe a Veteran? EDIT - every electric pump I've seen installed on an EFV8, which I disagreed with the need for each time and state emphatically herein you do not need it if your fuel system is in proper operating condition, pumped through the mechanical fuel pump.

Vince,is that air-tex an electric one or mech. I don't believe in elec. pumps. As Steve said. Put a good rebuilt pump by me and you wont need an electric one. I only have a few left as I'm downsizing and running out of some yrs. I'm out of the rebuilding business. OMO. ken ct.

I tried all the usual sources for a 36 pump, all were out off stock... macs,C&G,drake,carpenter etc.I wanted to rebuild mine but no kit available. MAC's shows a diaphragm tor a 33-48, but this not correct they told me it will only fit a model B 4 cyl. They told me the 32-34 kit, as the parts look the same,will not fit. I've had my 36 for 14 years now with never a problem.There is no wear only distorted diaphragm.I suppose this is why the early ford v8 judging, decided not to deduct points for electric pumps.

I also have the correct super diaphrams attached to the correct metal stem for those pumps. From 34 to 53 all use the same diaphragm and stem. Getting $25 for them plus shipping of $8 . Some machine work is involved in me attaching diap. to stem. ken isidor 55 woodland park Shelton ct. 06484 or call.

Here is a link to a source for rebuild kits. http://www.then-now-auto.com/ I have never bought a kit from him, but others have said that his kits are good. I believe that Airtex still makes its fuel pumps in Illinois and Indiana, neither of them are in China. The replacement fuel pumps will work on your 36 Ford, but are not Concourse correct. If you need a Concourse correct fuel pump, you will have to buy a rebuilt pump or have yours rebuilt. I don't believe that you will need an electric fuel pump as back up. They add another failure point in the fuel system. But if you decide to add one, mount it near the tank and the one from C&G appears to be able to push the fuel through the mechanical pump
