Hi all, due to fuel pressure issues (and because it came to me as original equipment on my 68 sedan), both my amazons are using the glass-dome later-style AC fuel pump with the little brass cap screen under the dome. My 68's pump lacked the cap screen entirely and when I re-installed it w/o a screen, the fuel roiled and gushed around under the dome and generally did not perform properly. The car kept running out of fuel and stalling. I blamed the missing screen. I swapped in the screen from my parked wagon and all has been well.
But that means that my wagon's pump has no cap screen and will probably perform poorly as well. This also violates a pretty important rule I set for myself:
***No Cannibalizing The Wagon For Parts***
The wagon's pump was rebuilt using an OEM rebuild kit, but instead of a new cap screen, I received a thin bit of circular brass mesh with a hole in it. No mater what I tried this bit of mesh did not fit so I finally concluded that it was not supposed to replace the cap screen.
So, outside of buying a complete replacement pump (and I already have a total of four working fuel pumps), where can find a replacement for my cap screen? I do not want to MacGyver one, but I also do not want to keep buying fuel pumps just for one or two spare bits.
If these are not available new, does anyone have a non working pump, or maybe one with a missing dome that they'd like to sell/trade/give me the cap screen??
Thanks
