You could try this listing (Australian site listing - below); On a google search they have a listing that says they have fuel pump kits for HT upwards, however, whilst they have lots of pump kits for many makes I found their site difficult to negotiate, email or phone call might get you that kit.. just maybe. I had thought they were out of stock everywhere but, I reckon, if you really want one, this could be worth checking out.

However, I reckon its still possible buy a new glass bowl pump at a reasonable price... you just have to shop around long enough, and look in the far corners. I only had a quick look this eve, and only found this one (for way way way too much money!!) on ebay (and its 6 cyl). But I was pretty sure Fuelmiser still make the glass bowl units as well. They definitely still make flatter all metal pumps for 253/308 (see below in this post).

Heres the listing for the ebay one priced for lazy shoppers at $300!!! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/2508...=true&lpid=107

If that fails, you could also try an importer re-seller called 'Memory Lane Classic Spare Parts', real nice guy, can get all sorts of stuff, he got me castellated Selby tie rod ends, for two vehicles within a couple of weeks after I bought nylock ones from him in misunderstanding (full replacement of course) when everyone else told me I could never get em in Australia again! Maybe might, just might be worth a try mailing him. He's got an ebay store;

(Btw JDT, you left out the quote brackets in your earlier post.)

I wasn't aware that Fuel Miser were actually still doing the V8 pumps!

I did a quick search. Currently, an outfit called EMA Australia has this style of 253/308 Fuelmiser fuel pumps for $75. Pretty fair price I thought. I suppose it may be available somewhere for less, but that's the best I found on a brief search.

And another called Motospecs (listed via eziautoparts) has the same unit, but no price.

I got a feeling Rare Spares might be worth a phone call as well (I was sure they used to have a Fuelmiser or Goss version for all engines, glass bowl and the next version, but I could be wrong, because I cant see them listed when I had a look today).

Btw there are a variety from lesser known brands on ebay atm - here's a flash looking one (chrome plated) and says its high volume for performance modified 253/308 for only $55.13....! (But I don't know much about the brand 'Speedmaster', - perhaps somebody else here does?) ... Its very pretty anyway!!

Anyway, Xale, you may not need a new fuel pump, but if it turns out you do, its definitely worth shopping around.

We can get some pretty dodgy fuel here. Hence all the filters. V8 had Rochester and 6 cylinder mostly had Stromburg.

Most V8 had WW Stromberg or some had an Email I think it was. Only 308 and blue 4.2 had Rochester Quadrajet. Chev engines had 2 or 4 barrel Rochester but some of the early 60's GMH Chevs, Pontiacs etc may have had a Carter. Silver 253/308 in Bedford had a 2 barrel Rochester like HK/T 307.
