Re: Fuel Pump on '54

The service manual for 51-54 cars was probably written in the Summer of 1950 pre-production, before the series came out. It mentions a Carter Pump. Service manuals do not specify parts, only the parts book does. A careful reading of the parts book shows that 51-52's used an AC pump and '53-54 used either an AC or Carter. So either brand pump is correct for your '54 They are virtually identical in mounting and connections. The vacuum section uses two short rubber hose "jumpers" between the pump and hard lines, there are no brass fittings used on the vacuum section on either brand. There is no difference in pumps if the car has a 2bbl or 4bbl.
