I have both a '49 8 deluxe and '50 8 standard. Are the fuel pumps interchangeable? The fuel pump from the '49 has KEM508AJ stamped on the mounting flange. Does anyone know the fuel pump type for this as I need a fuel pump rebuild kit and kantor does not sell them anymore. many thanks!

The 49 deluxe uses the 2211 chassis and the 50 standard uses the 2301 chassis. According to the parts book they use the same pump. If the original pumps are still on the car they should be the same. I believe all 288/327 block pumps will physically interchange with differences being port style and location or maybe delivery specs for different carbs. No telling what might have been installed over 70 years if a pump was needed.

If Kanter, Max Merritt or Tucson Packard cannot help with a kit you might try Then and Now Automotive. If you have the flange number try their search box for the proper kit but if not, give them a call or email.

Here is info from parts book showing Packard part # and specs for the pump from an issue of a Service Counselor. The six used in 22nd series taxis and the eight specs are the same. The standard and deluxe eight column is noted is the red box.

G'day lawyertorts2,
to PackardInfo.

I invite you to include your '49 Deluxe Eight and '50 Standard Eight in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry

thank you, I will!

The 1949 and 1950 fuel pumps are the same, AC Type AJ as noted by HH56.
The KEM508AJ number is a rebuilders reference number for the original AC pump which would have had the number 3867 stamped on one side of the mounting flange, abbreviated from 1523867.
A rebuild kit for the 3867 pump should work for the pump with the KEM508AJ number.
