Can somebody please confirm for me that the fuel pump from the early red (149/179) is OK for the Grey.

With electric wipers I don't need the vacuum pump any more, and mine leaks oil anyway.

Anybody got one for sale?

Thanks for your advice.

Guys,

I ran my grey before it died on an electric fuel pump.  Just deleted the old fuel pump all togther and plated off the opening for it.  The elec fuel pump worked like a dream, 45 year old original motor never reconditioned in any way started first go every time.

Regards

Mikus

PS:  The fuel pump is one out of a commadore

I have one here (WA), the only markings on it are AC,  I would hesitate to guess that it would require a kit.  No idea what they are worth but send me a PM with an offer if you are interested.

Cheers,

Martin,
I run a red motor fuel pump on my grey, no problems at all. Mine would most likely be off a 186.

Martin,

 Just to add to what has been discussed (and something you probably know), red motor pumps can still be bought new.  I've seen them advertised in "Just Parts".  They aren't very expensive, I think they were only $60 or so... I can't remember for sure but I remember thinking the price was very cheap.

Thanks, Dave

Interesting, that price.  Motor Traders here in SA told me about $110- for a new pump - that's one with a glass bowl.  I understand you can get a totally sealed one with no bowl - maybe that's the $60- shot.

I got one off an HD at U-Pull-It for $16.50, and a non-genuine kit for $15.00, so my problem's solved pretty economically.

sounds good.  I tried to find an old "Just Parts", but it seems I must have thrown them away.

Sorry its taken so long to get back on this topic.  I believe it was a late model commadore pump and it was not inm the fuel tank it was an external one.  I mounted it on the drivers side guard and ran it through a relay to stop it continuing to pump if the motor cuts out.  Ill try and post a pic of it asap.
