Fuel pump for 1950 (8BA) - single or double action?

External Since: Jul 21, 2003 Posts: 1

What's the difference between the single and double action fuel pump?

Is one correct for passenger vs. truck? Is one for an overdrive?

I need to replace the fuel pump in my 1950 tudor business coupe; clues
and advice wanted.

Does anyone have any experience with the retrofit electric fuel pumps?

Thanks.

Double action has a vacuum booster, nice if you still have vacuum wipers.
It is hard on push rods though. If you have converted to 12 volts go with an
electric pump, mount over the rear wheel on the inside of the frame
there is a hole there to mount an AC pump splices into the line with the kit
that comes with the pump. Block off the old pump hole put a half inch rod
with a collar on it to keep from hitting the cam and leave the cover hold it
in place. Some blocks I am told have a hole to lube the push rod so the hole
should be filled. I have run a electric for 15 years with only 1 replacement
somewhere around the 50k mark. I always carry a spare only takes a little
while to change even with cruiser skirts.
