Lost a fuel pump this weekend(bummer) so does anyone know if the aftermarket makes one for the Y-block (Edelbrock,Holly,etc.) Part #? Thought I saw something on the Forum about the early FE pump would interchange,anybody try this?If so,Year--model--Part #.Check with Napa and they have a stock replacement for $90,early '62--390 FE lists $35. Appreciate the help guys! KID

You are correct. The early FE pumps work great. Most aftermarket shops have them in Holley etc. I use a stock pump for a HiPo 427 on mine. Chuck in NH

1973 F100 with a 360 from NAPA, has a nice canister filter as an added bonus.

They were $29 at napa with canister filter and all but I think they are like $31 now.

Kid: Do you have vacuum wipers? All the pumps mentioned above are without the vacuum booster. If you need the booster, you'll have to pony up the $90 for the replacement.

Mine was blowing oil out pretty bad, I found two new FE pumps on ebay super cheap. The arm looks identical, also the bolt flange. I mocked up both pumps today, one even fits up to a hardline going to a garbage can filter. Looks like it fits just fine.

You must not have the original 256 in your 54 Merc

I am a little confused, I tried putting a 54 double acting fuel pump on my 56 292 which is installed in my 54 Merc, and found the 54 bolts were too small in dia. and would not cover the hole for the fuel pump arm, it was like the pump was upside down.

On a '54 the pump is upside down compared to '55 and later. I'm not sure the arm would contact the cam properly if you put a '54 pump upside down on a '56.

No I could see that it would not work so I bought an FE fuel pump, I can't see how an FE fuel pump would ever work on a 54. But a couple of post above this one, some body did. thats why I am confused about it.

I have a later 292, the pump bolted up fine. I have not run it yet, but I see no problems with it.
