Two highly recommended fuel pump rebuilders are Arthur Gould Rebuilders or Terrill Machine. There are others. You can also get exchange pumps from Kanter or Max Merritt. Kanter and Max also have kits. Another place many have bought kits from is Then and Now Automotivehttp://then-now-auto.com

Daytona Partshttps://daytonaparts.com is probably where most buy their carb kits but Kanter and Max among others carry them too. Daytona did do rebuilds and then stopped. Someone recently said they were doing them again and the website seems to indicate the same. If they are, their carb rebuild services are highly recommended. Carb King is another place several have used.

If you are going to stay 6v then if you have a local old time electric motor shop they can probably do a good job for you. One thing to be aware of if you are contemplating a conversion to 12v is to have the starter converted too. The 6v starters will work on 12v but the extreme speed and torque at the higher voltage seems to be the common denominator from many posters who have had issues with broken or cracked housings. If you have no local shop AER Rebuilders is a place that has done work for several on the forum.

Another thing you might think about is brakes. If you are contemplating any work and in particular tubing replacement, there is a piece of tubing running under the engine which is very easy to reach while the engine is out. Same with the master cylinder.

You might also check the clutch and brake pedals for excess side to side play. The grease fitting is sometimes neglected. If that has happened bushings inside the pedal pivots as well as the shaft wears and causes a lot of slop and frequently lets the pedal arms scrape the side of holes in the toe plate..
