Hey folks, any suggestions where I can get a fuel pump for a 39 Cadillac with the v8 346? Mine died and can not find one. I can find the v16 but no v8........... Tried Kanter etc.
Thanks,

There are tons of people who will rebuild your core. Terill Machine Co., Arthur Gould, and many others. If you don't want to give up your core, there is a rebuilt pump up on E-Bay right now.

I sent to Arthur Gould my 49 fuel pump a year ago. Fast turn around of 7 days and came back perfect.

Thanks to Frank Hershey for its design and thanks to Harry Barr, Ed Cole, John Gordon and Byron Ellis for its engine.

Thanks for the response guys!  I saw them but mine has the fuel bowl on top, but it sounds like they are all interchangable. I may send it in for rebuild now that I know who does it. I see the auction lasts 8 days and I could have it back by then. I may even buy one as an extra, ya never knbow.

Thanks again,
Rick

Sometime in the late 1930's or early 40's, Cadillac changed the fuel pump from a side mounted bowl to a top mounted bowl.  I don't remember why they changed, but I believe there was a Cadillac service bulletin about the change.  I believe the top mounted bowl type will fit on all the earlier side bowl types, but obviously the piping would have to change slightly.  There are several top mounted bowl types currently available on eBay, item numbers:  221259108803, 261252609090, 380652540237 & 150755832893.
