Dave-
Have you checked with Tom at Then and Now? He deals with fuel pumps every day, may know of a source. maritimedragracing.com/antique_auto_parts_cellar.htm 781-335-8860 Remember, he usually just sells rebuild kits and rebuilds the fuel pumps sent to him, but it may be a starting point.

Does anyone know of a source for a Stewart Warner type 407 fuel pump used on a '32?
Only one I've seen in many, many years sold at Hershey last year in the booth right behind the PAC tent. They are quite rare, be prepared to spend $700 or more for a good one. I doubt any of the usual vendors will have one, I'd start by contacting all the owners of 32 cars in the PAC directory and hopefully one of them might have a spare they're willing to sell.

G'day Dave,
![]() I'd also like to invite you to please include your '32 in the Owner Registry together with a pic, any known history and how you acquired it.

That was me. I bought the pump which I just happened to stumble upon it. I got it for a decent price ($400)considering it was also rebuilt. I haven't put it on my car yet as I have to replumb the line, but it's for sale for $10,000. ![]() I believe one just sold on Ebay recently and the bottom casting was cracked. I believe most replacements used an AC pumps with the pump lever modified. That's what I currently run. Gould maybe able to get you an AC pump. The current owner indicated that they use to modify the AC pumps. He won't rebuild and Stewart Warner pumps. ![]()

I'm still looking for the correct cutout regulator for a 32 or least the replacement Eichlin that is also out of stock.
![]() I got one but I belive it's for a earlier Packard than 32.

Send me an email (axmanj@170220.com) and picture reference and I'll check in my stuff I have pulled off my 1936 120B (if the same); sorry, haven't learned enough yet to be dangerous about these cars. I am going with a 58 amp Alternator upgrade on my restoration..even though the originality police will probably hunt me down for a ticket...but I have spent too many years following the rules of OEM on these functional items and now more into upgrading with improved technology for a driver only.

Wow!
Thanks to all for the fantastic response. I had a hunch this pump was rare based on the difficulty I had finding it anywhere. If anyone needs a source to replace the top half casting of the Stewart Warner 407 pump I've found a source that manufactures the casting out of bronze, and then cadmium plates it. A few years ago I re-built a pump for a friend and used the casting to replace the top half that was cracked. The replacement fit and has worked fine. I've attached a file that shows the current source. Since I can get the internal re-build parts all I have to do is find a sample of the three main castings, upper, lower, and pump arm to use as patterns for new castings. I'll see it I can dig up some pictures of the SW 407 pump to send to Taxman. I have an original Owen-Dyneto regulator that I can take some pictures of for tbirdman. I also have a roster of all model 901's I've run across over the last 10 years. May be an interesting post for later. I've taken some pictures of the Packard section from a 1931 MOTORS manual I have. They are about 1.8M in size each, and about 10 photos. Also have info from a 1930 MOTORS brake manual with detailed info on adjusting the Packard Bendix three shoe system. Should I send these to bigkev@packardinfo.com for possible WEB site data? Thanks again, Dave
