Re: [AMC-list] BOSCH? fuel pump for a NASH RAMBLER motor?!

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

Heck, even $185 is a good price for a NEW dual action (fuel and vacuum) fuel pump, $85 is phenomenal!!  

I have a couple old ones with the "cartoon leg/foot" type arm. Also have one with a laminated metal arm, and a couple with little sliders on the end of the arm. All are from 196 engines of different vintage, either L-head or OHV. Most are 61 and later. Can't tell which are original and which are later replacements. Only good for cores now anyway.

Will wonders never cease. RockAuto has mechanical vacuum/fuel pumps for
sale, including one from Bosch. That's new to me. #68711, it carries a Bosch
price -- $195. Carter, new, is $85 though. THAT is a good price!

The pics all look different and different from mine but there's a bazillion
microscopic variations anyways, and as far as I know, they all fit. Where
there don't you simply remove the screws from the interfering section and
rotate it so it fits. (inlets and outlets).

This link might work:

They all have legs from comic book characters where mine has a stamped arm,
but hey, it's the 21st century, anything might happen now. Does that sound
crazy? Go look. Looks like a little man jauntily stepping out of the
housing, R. Crumb style, one foot first.
