      Fred Ballard in California does them.
      Stay away from Volunteer Corvette. They "lost" four of my fuel pumps and never reimbursed me for them.

          For a driven car I do not recommend a rebuilt AC Unitac ("crimped") fuel pump. A fuel pump is an important safety-related component.
          For a "trailer queen" type car rebuilds are OK, though.

              It's good to know about Fred.

                I had Fred do 4 of the 40769 fuel pumps for me last year. NONE of the currently available replacements are clocked correctly, and I wanted to have replacements available. He did a nice job.

                  Tim,

                  Who did you use on your cars? The LT-1 is seeping.

                    I used Volunteer Vettes, but I didn't know about Fred Ballard at the time. I have another original one that I'll send to Fred as he sounds as if he does good work and has a fast turnaround.

                      Just adding my two cents worth. I used Fred Ballard and I was and still am extremely happy with his work.

                        Fred did the one on my Survivor LT1, I had it back within 10 days as I did not want it replated.
