Hi Garrett,
A few years back I was looking to replace the fuel pump on my '57 300C. What I quickly figured out, was that Carter had about a zillion different pumps during the '57 -'59 timeframe and it was next to impossible to figure out what fit what. Different arm lengths, angles, all sorts of variables that I wasn't willing to risk in attempting to replace my original Carter fuel pump that was spewing fuel out through the relief hole on its top.
The original pump on my 300C, was absolutely made to be easily rebuilt with a simple diaphragm kit.
Then and Now Automotive in Weymouth Mass. manufactures brand spankin' new kits for these pumps. I gave them a call, had an informative and encouraging call with them and immediately ordered a kit to rebuild my original Carter pump.
Give 'em a look. I was very happy with the product and the company!
Best Regards,
TFM

Out of curiosity, how many different style fuel pumps were available between the various Mopar makes in 1957 (for instance according to my Dodge service manual there were three different styles, but did different makes have different pumps)?
The point of this question is:
If I see a fuel pump advertised as being for "Plymouth" but it appears to be identical to my Dodge fuel pump, is it safe to assume it is the same, or is this an instance where several fuel pumps look the same but each will have its own differences?
