Re: [AMC-list] 71 hornet issues

Kennedy American, American Parts Depot, and Galvin's all carry 
replacement vacuum wiper fuel pumps. The cost about as much as having 
the existing one rebuilt. The only functional difference between the two 
is the replacements to not have a provision for a fuel filter like the 
factory ones do so you'll need to plumb in an inline filter. There is 
enough room between the pump and the car to do that so it isn't that big 
of a problem.

NOS pumps do also turn up on eBay from time to time but chances are that 
they will still need to be rebuilt since the guts go bad from age.
