61 Imperial Fuel Pump Rebuild Kit

Rob:

We had this problem with the fuel pump on my 56 DeSoto. I never did find a diaphragm, but I did find a place that does R&R on these for you. Prices for vintage fuel pumps are as follows:

Item	Type	Average Price
Single Action	Fuel Only	$65.00	R&R
Double Action	Fuel & Vacuum	$80.00	R&R

The link for the website of the guys is:

www.hapinc.com

They stock over 1,000,000 vintage auto parts. I think that their prices are fairly reasonable, and if you pay over the phone with your credit card, you will have it in a couple days.   I also bought brakes shoes from these guys for my 1956.

Hope that helps.

Subject: IML: 61 Imperial Fuel Pump Rebuild Kit

Hello 61 owners, I am in need of a fuel pump diaphram rebuild kit. Has anyone found a place to get a new kit?

          I haven't had much time to search, but maybe someone has done this already and can recommend a vendor.

          My fuel pump works fine, but it leaks.

Thanks, Rob Kidd   "New" 61 2-dr. Custom
