1942 Dodge "Job Rated" 218 Fuel Pump

[Tubeviper]

I think its only a matter of time until the diaphragm in my Dodge Pickup's 218 is destroyed by ethanol. Therefore I would like to buy a new fuel pump, which was made with  ethanol resistance in mind. 

Could someone with a parts manual please let me know what the part number for the proper pump is?

Thanks!

You'd be spending your money wisely if you contact the folks at Antique Auto Parts Cellar. http://then-now-auto.com/antique-auto-parts/

If you are unsure of which pump you have sent them a picture of it, showing any identifying numbers, and they can tell you what you need. Their kits are ethanol friendly and your rebuilt pump will outlast a "new" replacement.

Absolutely  agree w what Merle says.  Yesterday the pump in my 2.5 ton quit (actually it spit the pin out).  It was new 3 years ago (Airtex?) through NAPA by the previous owner.  I ordered a new one, and decided to repair and rebuild this one for the shelf.   New one came, half the bolts holding the two halves together were stripped, two others were missing.   NAPA-Mexico.   I put the pin back in position on my pump and staked both ends and it worked fine.  I don't even think the brand new pump is rebuildable with the housings so screwed up.   I had good luck rebuilding the one in my 1 ton about 5 yrs ago with updated material that tolerates ethanol.  Going back to that guy just north of Albany, NY to get a kit for this one.

These guys can probably rebuild your pump if you want:

I just had them do a vacuum advance for me. The guys name is Carl, nice guy.

Thanks for the help, guys.

I am trying to get all of the original and correct assemblies on my truck and have replaced a few (Carburetor, Distributer, etc...) because they were not correct for the model year. Therefore,  can anyone tell me what the proper fuel pump is for my '42 is?

 

Thanks!
