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

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.

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

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

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.
