Fuel Pump rebuild question

Posted by Chiefdan On 2023/3/14 9:58:06

Working on a fuel pump (AC double action) for the 1951 Packard 200. My question is, Are there more than one type of oil seal and retainer used on these pumps. The pump kit I got from Then and Now Automotive has a seal and retainer that seems too thick for my application. They have a video on Utube that shows the seal and retainer going into the recess and is staked down around the edges. When I install the part down into the recess it is a good .040 above where it should be staked.
I tried calling Then and Now but all you get is a recording saying they are short staffed and call back later. Thanks again for all the help guys. Dan
