The best rebuilder is Skip Haney in Florida. He can be reached at skip@fordsrus.com. Be aware that there are new pumps available from vendors such as Drake, Carpenter, and C&G. These pumps have turbine impellers, improved seals, and sealed ball bearings at less than rebuild cost.

I have had good luck with Fryer's. They advertise in the V-8 Times,ph# 909-335-1418.

Here's another vote for Skip Haney. I can't speak to the quality, performance, and guarantee offered by the other suppliers mentioned in another response here but I can tell you from my own personal experience that Skip's rebuilds meet all the above mentioned criteria and he stands behind his work 100%.

ramin, the V-8 Times is a publication of the Early Ford V-8 Club. When you join the club you get 6 issues a year plus a roster of all the national members. You can join on the main page of this site or by calling 1-866-427-7583. You will enjoy the magazine. JM I do have personal experience with Fryer's pumps. He also stands behind his products. I have not done business with Skip but I know others who have and they were very happy also.

I agree, I had Skip rebuild mine and they work great. That was about 5 years ago.

Tom (TJ), to clarify my earlier post, I was not referring to your post nor was I referring to Fryers when I mentioned another post and other suppliers. I was referring to Supers post and the suppliers he mentioned; Carpenter, Drake, and C&G to be specific.

JM, no problem. When I made my first post I should have indicated that I had experience with Fryer's.
