My very limited experience with double action pumps, mostly OEM AMC 1965 thru early 70's, about 5 of them is that the suction part of the pump is only good for about 25k MILES. Those pumps tend to be expensive too. Probably cheaper in long run to convert to electric wiper ALA 55-57 Chev at about $200 as of 4 or 5 years ago.

If u can find a pump such as the F Y block 292 AS AN OFF THE SHELF item at local parts store or big name hi volumn ford supplier to work then i would not jerk around any rebuild kits unless price is major diference. WHich i am guessing of-the shelf pump to be cheaper.

Give us an update when u decide.


HH56:
can u take a file to one of those pins (if a sacrificial pin is in hand) to determine it's hardness?????
