Re: fuel pump
Hi; The only priming lever pumps I have seen are Military parts. I do not currently have a source, but try Mapleleafup.com A site for Commonwealth vehicles. My 'Blitz" is a Ford. Newc

Re: fuel pump
By memory...not to good...Ford pilot and simca has a lower body with primerpump that fits early flatheads.
Willys MB has a lower body that fits late flatheads. You need to use the correct arm from you old pump and the top part. Good thing with AC pumps are you can mix and match to get what you want. |

Description: These brand new aluminum fuel pumps were originally made by the French military to be put on service vehicles. While they will work and bolt-on like a stock Ford fuel pump, they also come equipped with a primer on the side. This small hand priming lever is perfect getting fuel back in the line after your car has been sitting so that you can start on the first spin rather than killing your starter. All fitting are like stock Ford and the top can be removed and re-positioned in order to angle it to meet your needs.

Re: fuel pump
I bought a French Flathead fuel pump. Has the priming lever but not the glass bowl. Metric threads but you can adapt or modify. Been running it for a year or more without problems.

Re: fuel pump
Look around, you can find an old pommy one and just swap the guts over, thats what I did.
Only small problem is the screw holes are half a hole around compared to the ford one. Lawrie |
