My choice of route is a DIY rebuild with a kit from antique auto cellar/then and now automotive. I believe you can also send your pump into them to be rebuilt.

Here's an inexpensive 6 volt electric.

I did both.

I rebuilt my original fuel pump with a kit from Then and Now,

and I added an electric pump inline.

i have it wired to a NO pushbutton, and only use it for priming.

You can also contact the company called PartsGeek: 

 

here is a link to their fule pump for your car:  http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/1947/dodge/custom/fuel_delivery/fuel_pump.html

 

Cost is 62.63  This is an Airtex old number 588  but is a newer number.  A rebuild kit will cost you arounf 49 dollars and then you stil lhave to rebuild the old pump. Just get an entirely new pump and put it inthe car instead of rebuilding unless you want the experience of rebuilding a FP.

 

Just my $62.63 worth of information.

 

Yes also the Airtex electric fuel pump is a good backup as a primer to you mechanical pump. Place this pump as close to the gas tank as possible. These are a pusher type pump and not a puller like the mechanical pumps.

My choice too. For my car with shipping the cost for two kits was about $90, so $45/pump.

 

Why two?

 

The other week I went to start the car after it had been sitting since last fall. Cranked but would not start, investigation showed the pump was not pumping. Pulled it off the car and put on the "new" spare I'd bought about 15 years ago. Car started with that but there was gasoline dripping down the side from the weep hole. Apparently the pump had gone bad on the shelf. Both pumps are the correct AC model for 1933 and are not available off the shelf. I could get a later pump and use it but don't see the need.

 

Ordered two rebuild kits by phone from Then & Now (a.k.a. Antique Auto Parts Cellar) and they arrived a couple days later (they did not ask how I wanted them shipped and I was expecting a week to get them from MA to CA). Good quality, came with instructions. Pivot pins are extra long and have clips to hold them in place. I am probably set on fuel pumps for that car for the rest of my life.

 

By the way, on the two original pumps one (the "new" replacement) simply had the pivot pin staked. The old one that was on the car had an extra long pivot pin that had been peened at each end into rivet heads to keep it in place.
