They are 550 miles away at me Oregon shop and we are on lockdown here in the Bay Area of California but I plan on going up as soon as I'm able.

As for your Belair, I can't speak for that but the neighbor where I used to live had an identical one in his 1952 Cadillac. They were made, I believe, by AC but I have also seen them with the Carter logo.

Hi Bob,

I have the same exact problem with my 1940 Desoto, i cringe during hot days when i have to stop for any period of time. I want to get a setup like the one you explained, can you tell me where i can purchase all that's needed, the inline pump, filter & your type of switch. I agree a toggle switch i could easily forget to turn off. Thank you. Tom

This is not one of mine but is virtually identical. These attach directly to the carburetor's inlet using a short double-ended 1/8" pipe nipple and the inlet connects to the steel line from the filter by way of a 1/8 pipe to 1/4" (?) flare adapter. Since it's right there at the carburetor, it is very easily serviceable and all my Packards from 1940 and up have had a filter in this location.

thank you!!

My father put an E8011 on his 41' Six many years ago to prime the carb when it had been sitting and to get it restarted after a hot shutdown.

Recently it was leaking and after some research I replaced it with a Brock SP1124 from Amazon for $25. Came with a pre-filter and can be pos or neg ground.
Considering adding one to my 48' now instead of a shot of starter fluid to get it primed after sitting.
