you can still buy rebuild kits readily..if you cant find them blocker give me a yell and i will..the pump that you had pictured on your motor was a rebuildable type..
there must be a trend against the non rebuildable ones as ive sold around 20 rebuildable types in the last couple of months....or am i the only wrecker that kept them?:Chin:
oh and to add to this i would stay mechanical in the resto you are doing..
