Fuel Pump for a "78


Jim78

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a replacement fuel pump for my '78. The listing at the FLAPS shows a pump that is much taller than the original. I get the same tall pump when I check on-line vendors. This pump would hit the frame. Does anyone have a good number or cross reference for the short pump?

Look in a Summit Racing or Jeg's catalog or their websites. They each sell their own brand of fuel pumps, as well as Carter, Edelbrock and Holley. Each is shorter than stock and are usually able to be "clocked" in order to line up the fuel line for any application. The down side is they likely will be somewhat more expensive than a stock replacement type but on the other hand are going to be better quality.

Summit Racing also has a line of stock replacement parts as well...look and see if that will serve your purpose as well.

Contact Betty Booth At Nostalgic Motors. They will have them in stock

I found the exact replacement pump at Summit. It is an AC Delco pump, part #ACF-41216 which sells for $24.95 plus shipping. Crossing this number into NAPA produced a #TFP 2M6626 which sells for $16.44.

Since my pump appears to be an original (30 years old) I can't afford not to change it. It's a whole lot easier in the garage, compared to the roadside.
