Recommendations on fuel pumps?

[Steve Bloom]

Greetings all --

The pump on my '73 (rear electric pump, standard SU's, pretty much stock except for 280-Z distributor) has effectively given up the ghost - car ran great, then silence, followed by cursing. Dropped a new see-thru filter in and the pump could not fill it (and the pump was turning over - sound was "normal" and there was a tiny amount of gas bubbling in the filter).

So -- what should I ask for - specs / makes /etc. Any info would be helpful.

The Facet Part Number is FEP60SV. I bought mine from the local NAPA store - they have their own NAPA part number for it - but they can use the Facet Number to cross-reference to the NAPA part number. Or you can shop on-line. It's around $99.95 to $108.00 depending on where you buy it.

When you say "standard su's" does that mean flat top's?

If you already changed to the round top SU's you don't need the electric kicker pump. That was a recall item to combat vaporlock.

The carbs are the round tops -- some of the first ones from Z-Therapy and the only pump in the system is the rear one. Since there is no fuel pressure now and there was enough to get me 20 miles from home, it's time for a new pump. I'll call around to check on availability for the unit Carl mentioned --
