Anyone want one of the truck style pumps?

There probably is a special tool for the job - but I don't who would make it or where to find it. I know the last few times I met up with a stubbornly stuck filter can,  I took it off with a strap wrench.

I have a fuel pump from a truck 292 with the same type of filter as above, bought from NPD. It has the 3 dimples on the end. Where can you get a tool for removal??



Thanks,

I actually just used the t-bird style, with the glass bowl that mounts up to one of the intake manifold bolts.  Even used t-bird fuel line fit to go from pump to the filter.  Available from any of the repop places (I think I got mine from tee-bird prods or casco?)

I know it isnt "hidden" underneath like you mentioned, but it looks OE/stock, and its easy to get to/see

IIRC, it wasnt more than about $45 for everything....make sure you get the mounting bracket!

Bill - 

The GF62 is an AC Delco part - but the place I looked for a price (on the net ) was new at "Rock Auto" - USD $36.79 without shipping. I got mine off ebay for way cheaper than that ($5) because its bowl had rusted through (the upper housing is aluminum) - the bowls can be had seperately as a service part for the Ford fuel pumps (got mine at NAPA). New pleated elements are $3.50 to $5.00. 

You find them as OEM installations in all sorts of weird places - '65/'66 Mustang 289's are mounted like the one on my T-bird - GM used one on the big "Kodiak" series of trucks.

Me too!!

Thanks for the responses guys.  I checked out Summit....lots of great options!

I like the idea of being able to see into the filter housing, but some of those metal jobs are real good looking.  I know I shouldn't care since it'll be up under the car, but I'm a sucker for that stuff!

This is an AC GF62 canister filter that uses a popular element you can get almost anywhere...the housing used to be available from Rock Auto (on the net). It can be pressurized (which is what I did) or it can be a suction type filter too.

The inlet ports are 1/4 pipe thread and there are two 5/16-24UNF mounting screw holes in the top.

There are Ford truck fuel pumps (don't have the top side vacuum wiper pump fittings though) for sixties FE motors that have this canister built into the bottom. Makes a really clean installation though and you get the filter with the pump.

Summit has thier branded one which is a copy of the old Fram hot rod unit.  Made to do exactly what you want and comes with a mounting bracket.  has lots of surface area and uses a replaceable filter cartridge.  I used one of those on my last project because I KNOW where I can get repacement cartridges.
