If you experience VAPOR LOCK at any point, then maybe consider an ELECTRIC PUMP as a PRIMER.

Whatever you decide to do, if the pump is original and can be rebuilt, DO NOT use it as a CORE RETURN. Good cores are hard to find.

From the above info I contacted Then and Now uto. Used their onsite to order a rebuild kit for the fitted duuble acting fuel pump and vaccu wipers.
From ordering to receiving the rebuild kit was 12 days. This was excellet service considerfing I'm located down under.!!
This was followed up with good info on dispatch and tracking details.
Their service was outstanding and due to info onthis site was able to get exactly what i needed for the pump rebuild.
Many thanks to supplied info on these people.
