Source for 68 L36 Stock Fuel Pump
Well, I started the 68 Plane Jane, and noticed a smelly drip. The fuel pump is leaking like a big dog.
Is this a Corvette house item or Napa?
It seems the 2 Napa pumps are for either Holley or small block.
Thanks in advance...

The L36 fuel pump was discontinued many years ago so you have a choice. Either spend BIG $$$ on the "correct" reproduction, or just use the Holley pump, available at most auto parts houses for around $25.

There is a Corvette parts shop in San Jose.
http://www.corvetteclinicparts.com/
The had a pump for $40.
Maybe it's the Holley pump?
It looks identical to the pump I took off.
Thanks for all the guidance.
This is not what I had planned for today, but no biggie...

Jeff, here are the two pumps. The picture on the left shows the correct L36 (Rochester carb) pump and the picture on the right shows the Holley carb pump. The only real difference nowadays is the length of the inlet housing. Originally, the main difference between the two pumps (other than the length of the inlet housing) was the flow rate. The Holley pump put out more fuel than the Rochester pump because Holley carbs used more fuel than the Rochester carbs.

I got the Roach version (short housing). It is a Master 40659. Box says Made in USA.
I remember Master from the 60's as the cheaper line of pumps.
Oh yeah, the heavy grease trick holds the pump rod as slick as ....
Easy money.
Again, thanks to all.
