Fuel Pump Price Inflation

[RobertKB]

I was looking at some of my old parts I bought at a swapmeet a long time past. This fuel pump was from Macleods that went out of business decades ago. I probably paid more than the sticker price at the swapmeet. Sure would be nice to buy a brand new fuel pump today for Canadian $3.99! 😊 I’m guessing this is from the ‘60's. Lots of suction and would probably work for a while until the modern gas killed the diaphragm.

I hear ya.  I paid $36 for a new fuel pump for the ol' Dodge in the '90s (...late 1900's?).  Put a new one in (from the same vendor) that cost almost $200 this year.  For whatever reason, I had "$30 or so" on the brain when I went shopping and was stung by the "new" cost.

That pump is definitely worth rebuilding with ethanol resistant parts. Then and Now Automotive has kits.
