I’ve been having a little trouble with my duel action fuel pump on my 55 crown. It just doesn’t pump enough gas. I’ve had it apart 3 times and there isn’t much I can do without a rebuild kit. The last thing I want is to have my pump quit this summer when I start driving my car. I know there is a lot of junk out there, what is a good pump to buy? Just like to hear what you guys are running . Thanks

FE pumps will work. I've been using a HiPo pump for a 427 Ford on my Y for years.
Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

I know I can use a regular ford fuel pump but I want to keep my vacuum wipers. I don’t drive my car when it’s raining but I would like everything to work like it did in the 50s.

You want to rebuild (or have rebuilt) your pump. Do not let the pump go as a core. They are getting hard to find.
Have you performed a pressure and volume test?

The engine seems to run fine in the garage( not on the road yet) but the clear filter is only about 1/4 full. Took hose off carburetor and turned it over and it doesn’t seem to squirt very much. I’ve got a new fuel tank and gas so it shouldn’t be plugged up. I will try checking the pressure but it’s given me problems the last year or so

Can the vacuum wipers just be plumbed into a different vacuum source?

Can the vacuum wipers just be plumbed into a different vacuum source? Not unless you have a secondary vacuum source, say an electric vacuum pump. The wiper motor operates off manifold vacuum. Once the manifold vacuum drops (as when pulling a grade or passing), the vacuum pump on the fuel pump cuts in and supplies the necessary vacuum (hopefully) to operate the wipers. You need to perform a fuel pump pressure and volume delivery test to start. You also need a vacuum/pressure gauge. Do you have a correct WORKSHOP MANUAL to guide you?

i don't think your fuel pump is the problem.
Something is restricting the gas before it gets to the pump.
I have owned 7 55 Fords including 5 CV and 3 56 Fords including 2 CV.
I have found that the fuel pump works, or they don't work, no in between.
