<VV> rebuilding fuel pump

[Sethracer at aol.com]

I sort of agree with what Mike says below. BUT (There is almost always a  
but) if you have an original GM pump, where for one reason or another, only the  
actual diaphragm is bad (torn, etc), and the body (Threads) is okay and the  
check valves are both functional and in place, then it might be worth  
rebuilding. There are several unknowns present  in the "Fuel Pump" supply  lines.  As 
long as the kit you are installing has the proper  diaphragm material and you 
carefully re-assemble it, it might be a  better bet than  a new one.     
 
Your  mileage may vary.   - Seth
 
PS - I think it was Clark's that had the kits.

Jay, at  one time one (or more) of the vendors had a kit for rebuilding fuel 
pumps, but  it was very nearly as much as a new pump.  I think someone has 
posted  about getting the raw materials (mostly diaphragm material) and 
rebuilding  them.
