Hello all, have a 35 Ford stock , all original pickup. Not worried about being totally stock. Thoughts on best place to purchase a fuel pump and maybe changing to one with a glass bowl. thanks.

Airtex is the brand pretty much everyone sells NEW.. We sell them, as well as rebuilt originals for the same price.

cas3 · 03-02-2020, 08:19 PM

i would have your original one rebuilt

JM 35 Sedan · 03-03-2020, 06:17 AM

I like using the glass bowl FP on my '35 because I like to be able to see the gas coming into the bowl, and also the fact that I can use a filter in the bowl. I could care less about being totally original. I also like to rebuild my own pumps using alcohol resistant components, and internal spring pressure that produce no more that 2-1/2 psi fuel pressure to the carburetor(s). Have been using the same fuel pump that I rebuilt 13 yrs, and 35k miles ago.

Outright or rebuild and TEST most any flathead pump......2 1/2 to 3 psi when it leaves
my shop, "gay-run-teed". Email or call for estimates.

Although not correct I use a glassbowl pump for my 36. They are for checking debris. I prefer them. I wouldn't hesitate getting a charlie pump.

I had Charlie rebuild mine very nice I also have a 35pu would not change from original just my opinion hope that helps

petehoovie · 03-10-2020, 05:24 PM

Should you decide on a glass-bowl pump, be sure to use a cork gasket on the glass bowl as opposed to a neoprene gasket....

Tinker · 03-10-2020, 09:08 PM

You can get a roll of cork gasket material from napa

tubman · 03-10-2020, 09:21 PM

I'll second the motion on a cork gasket. It seems counter-intuitive to me, but they just work better.

Charlie just did two for me. Quick turn around and great price.

Does anyone have a part number for a filter that fits in that bowl? I've seem some small Mann filters for lawnmowers (not the inline type), so I'd assume they'd work too.

Tinker · 03-12-2020, 11:30 PM

I don't run one. But maybe?

I'd like to do the same, where do you buy the components?

35fordtn · 03-13-2020, 09:09 AM

The filters are available most every reproduction vendor. We even stock them

FlatheadTed · 03-13-2020, 12:35 PM

At the car museum that I assist on repairs I was asked recently to look at a Chrysler that wouldn't start I found the cork gasket on the glass bowl have shrunk and was sucking air ,I believe A/C pumps in the day had a
neoprem or some type of rubber if you could get one of these you would be better of but most of us have no choice .
