1966 And Later Fuel Pumps
While the old style 'rebuildable' screw-together fuel pumps still seem to be available, the non-serviceable 1966 and new pumps often show as discontinued on auto part supplier websites. This is not altogether true, the later style pumps are still available though they are hard to find. The problem is the fuel pumps on 305E's and 351E's used in light trucks came with a 5/16" hose nipple inlet, and those are discontinued. However, the same pump with a 3/8" inlet is still manufactured. You can find the 3/8" inlet pump listed for V-6's in medium and heavy duty trucks with the larger 'Magnum' V-6's. They have the same 1/2" flare fitting outlet, so all you have to do to use these pumps on light duty trucks is get a 3/8" to 5/16" reducer hose nipple. Part numbers for the 3/8" pumps are as follows:
NAPA NNP B0143P
Airtex 40050
Carter M4548
Precision M20022 (O'Reilly's)
