Fuel Pump Issues
65 365HP.
I have what is supposed to be the original fuel pump to my car. It has the AC logo on the top and is stamped with the correct part number. When I bought the car it came with it in a box. The fuel pump that was on the car needed replaced because the pin that holds the pump arm was falling out. I sent the original pump to Arthur Gould and he sent it back rebuilt. When it was installed, it flooded the carb because it was putting out 15psi. I bought a new pump (no logo) and put it on the car so I could drive it.
I sent the pump back to AG after telling them what was going on. He said it didn't look like it was them who rebuilt the pump which was goofy because I only ever had one correct pump. He said the guy that would have rebuilt it recently left and he couldn't check with him. He said maybe he used a kit that we had that was sitting on the shelf for a long time. ??????
At any rate, he said he would rebuild the pump again and address the pressure issue. So he did and then sent it back. I just installed the pump and it's the same thing. It's overwhelming the floats again and pumping gas out the vents. I put the new (non correct) one on and it's fine. Needless to say I'm frustrated.
Does anyone know of any other company that rebuilds these pumps?

Hemmings shows a listing for TERRILL MACHINE, INC in DeLeon, Texas. One year warranty. In business since 1978. 254-893-2610. I have not used them, so I cannot recommend based on personal experience; but they have been advertising in Hemmings for forever.
You might also try Paragon Reproductions. They seem to be repairing/restoring just about everything lately. I know that they have rebuilt OEM pumps for sale. They are a Forum Sponsor, and their website link is on the C2 Forum left hand margin.

Springs are too strong
Most folks I know buy a rebuild kit and do it themselves. There are many companies selling the rebuild kits.....but I can provide names if needed.

All companies with repro parts use the same supplier
