I just found this thread, and as a fellow '55 Clipper Hardtop owner, I say welcome! The guys on here are superb and extremely helpful. You have one of the most unique cars ever built, and have lots of discoveries left!

thank you.... any know where i can get a fuel pump rebuild kit ?????

Quote:
Packard vendors, Kanterkanter.com/packard/pac-556.html, Max Merrittmaxmerrittauto.com/ etc.

In addition to the vendors having kits, many have been buying fuel pump kits from Then and Nowmaritimedragracing.com/antique_auto_parts_cellar.htm Scroll down the page. The Packard Fuel Pump tab is for something else.

Carb kits from Daytonadaytonaparts.com/

thank you i love this site and you all have been verrrrrrrry helpfull

I bought a fuel pump for a 1955 Packard clipper yesterday from Advance auto parts for 20.00. The part I asked for was fuel pump 6866 for a Chrysler 318, earlier 70's....The arm looks different but it has the same rake and bolted right up and I drove it today.

We do plan on buying the rebuild kit in the future because the part says Made in the USA and we are partial to American made parts and keeping it original. They run 30.00

The parts ref link is amazing, These guys have done all the discovering so far and makes life easier. Truly <3 them

and that is the truth about the tranny...we got the motor freed up and then had to do the transmission. Peter Fitch..got us through that traumatic experience

thank you for the info

ok pump is on and its starting and running. now my power brakes the inside of the master is solid jelly sludge not good where can i get a new unit or send this one too to have it rebuilt

I'd recommend buying a rebuilt power brake unit from Kanter Bros or Max Merritt. It's an exchange basis so yours wlll have to be a rebuildable or core or there will be an extra charge.

And if you want another rebuild option, there is a company fairly close to you that comes recommended by several on the forum.midwestbooster.com/
