That "thunder" coming from the Detroit area was the 59AB coming to life. No problems with the Airtex pump...in 90 degree weather.

Seems like the pumps are in short supply for some reason. The Airtex 571 has the fuel bowl and local O'Reilly's auto parts has them on the shelf. Advance AP also handles them. Airtex 591 is without a fuel bowl. Got one from C&G a couple of months ago. I decided to use a 591 because I am using a filter in front of the Stromberg and haven't been catching anything in the fuel bowl for several years. Fuel pumps have not been an issue for me in the last 40+ years of driving my '35 and changed this pump only because I rebuilt the carburetor. However, I did get the diaphragm kit. Nothing wrong with having a spare in the traveling tool kit.

Tom O/ If you look closely Speedways all metal pump the inlet and outlet are in a line with each other (not correct )for early or late 36 pumps.Also is blank where drain petcock should be or hex head screw should be on early 36 pump.That pump would get points off at any Ford National. Its a poor copy of the correct pump. Its not even correct for ANY ford.Owner says his engine is a 39 ,its not correct for that either. ken ct. I don't like people buying the wrong stuff thinking its correct when the correct stuff is available if you know where to get it and for roughtly the same price.

Speedway Motors still shows the pump without the glass bowl on their website. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Search?query=Fuel+Pump&facet=GA_Brand%3aOffenhauser&HasInferredFacets=true&NoRedirect=true&OriginalQuery=offenhauser+Fuel+Pump I have been running one, with the glass bowl, from them on my 40 Merc for a few years with no problems.

C'mon Ken - let it go. There's no question about the quality of your parts.
