Who Made Fuel Pump?
Posted: Fri Jan 15, 2021 10:51 am
It is too cold for me to be painting little parts or working on the chassis, so I am piddling with some items I can do now. I decided I could order some parts and wanted to see if I had a rebuildable fuel pump or non-rebuildable on my 68. Well, it was the non-rebuildable, but I got it apart with little trouble. Curiously, I noted that the housing and the diaphragm both say, "Made in U.S.A", but no manufacturer's marking. There is a number stamped inside that says FP482-A and one on the flange that says 1065AX. This pump has the shallow flange with the phenolic and has hose fittings for rubber hoses. The check valves are screw in type, not held in with a hold-down bracket. I realize that this could be an aftermarket pump. Looking over the site and online searching, I have not found anything that looks like this pump. Anyone have any clues who may have made this one? This is not a "need" questions I can just buy a new pump, but more of a curiosity. Maybe this is a common fuel pump and I am just not aware. Thanks for any thoughts.
