[Zmagnette] Fuel pump

[wraylemke at compuserve.com]

There was one on the ZB when I bought it. It failed, and I bought another one from the local old time parts house, it was labeled as a Borg-Warner EP43. It lasted almost a year before the ethanol ate the diaphragm.

Steve-
Yep, only place I've found in recent years.

I used to cary a kit in my car. Had one on my '47 Ford business coupe, hood held down by a big wingnut in front and the tops of a pair of combat boots at the rear sides. Once, it died at noon in downtown Philadelphia, midsummer, hot as Hades. We did a race pitstop, leaned the hood up against a building - about 5 minutes from death to resurrection, plus another 10 to explain to the cop what we had just done!

Fletcher,

I found this source:  http://autoperformanceengineering.com/html/bel_pump.html, but unfortunately almost everything is listed as unavailable.  There is just one bellows kit that seems to be still available.  I guess that is good enough if that's the one you need!

Common aftermarket pump. Those pumps were sold under many names, incl AC and Autopulse. They came in 6V, 12V and 24V, high and low pressure. Not ground sensitive, and I think there should be markings for voltage. Originally had brass bellows, later replaced by rubber bellows. Until very recently and maybe still, the rubber bellows were still available, and usually that is the only part you need. Since the bellows were produced long after the ethanol additions started, I imagine that later ones would resist ethanol; no other parts are sensitive. Service repair kits used to include bellows, points, gaskets, and you could get either of two springs - which determine the output pressure.
