Got a chance to put the fuel pump together after work tonight. I bead blasted the castings after disassembly, and painted the outside surfaces with Rustoleum Titanium engine enamel. I pried open the crimped vacuum tube and got it round again. Then I reassembled the pump with the new parts from my kit, some of the old check valves were staked in place and I had to clean up the castings a bit to fit the new valves. A bit of a challenge to my motor skills to get the pump arms hooked into the diaphagm rod ends, but I got it on the first try. Whew. The kit uses a screen to replace the old filter assembly in the bowl, simple but should work fine. I bought a new spring for the vacuum side to replace my broken one, so now the wipers should get plenty of power.
