OK, I know this has been asked many times before but I am going to ask it again. I've searched the archives but have not found a definitive answer to who has the best rebuild kit for a 4657 fuel pump. It has to be ethanol friendly. I've heard of Arthur Gould, Jackson's Old Time Parts, O'Riiey's, and NAPA to name a few. I'm hoping NAPA as Joe Ray once suggested. Anybody got any updates?

Re: fuel pump rebuild kits
Perry,
I can't answer your question except to say I overhauled my 4657 pump with a Paragon kit and have never had a problem.
That being said if there is a fuel pump diaphragm kit available from NAPA that's the way I would go. When I did mine I recall leaving the check valves in tact plus i reused the stock spring above the diaphragm. -

The spring sets the outlet fuel pressure. I have a spring tester I used to inspected the stock spring and the one in my rebuild kit. They weren't even close. I believe using the stock spring is good advice.Comment

Re: fuel pump rebuild kits
Perry,
Arthur Goulds business was sold to a new owner and they are now located in Western Mass.
They dis a 4657 for me and did a great job all around. Very reasonable. It was $100 plus shipping. Since then they have successfully done several for local NCRS members.
It's worth a call. Google will get you their contact info.Comment

Re: fuel pump rebuild kits
It seems the local auto parts stores do not have fuel pump rebuild kits anymore. At least they don't show them in their on line catalogs. This includes NAPA and Rock Auto.Comment

Re: fuel pump rebuild kits
Paragon catalog shows them. I would check with them. Tim used them and was happy.
Probably Zip and LICS have also. My latest catalogs from them show as available.
