  Does Airtex still make fuel pumps?Used to get pumps from NAPA and other places.I think the pump number was 591?What is the source for getting a good fuel pump these days?Seems like they are disappearing? Thanks,Russ

  You may have to get a repair kit and rebuild your old pump. One kit is offered by Dennis Carpenter.

  Don't know about 1940 but I have an Airtex on the 8ba in my '39 p/u. part # 9785
IIRC the Airtex part # for a 1940 flathead is 571. But I could be wrong

  What is happening here>?You use to purchase either type of fuel pump almost anywhere?Slowly but surely this hobby is fading away!

  You may be able to purchase a new Fuel Pump P.N. 68-9350 for 1933-42 vehicles with the metal bowl from Yesteryear Ford Parts.

  If you're not a purist, you could use an electric pump. You could leave the original pump in place for looks; just remove the pushrod.
