68 427 400 Fuel Pump Rebuilder

[Jack C.]

Any suggestions on who could rebuild my pump over the winter? Or just get one from Paragon and hang on to the original?

I'd get a new one and just keep the original in storage. GM part number is GM #6416741, aka Delco 40482

Sorry; I goofed. I gave you the number for the 1970-74 big block pump. The one you need is GM #6416741, aka Delco #40482. The 40659 that, apparently, Paragon shows is the correct fuel pump, but, as far as I know, it's been discontinued for ages. I don't know where they get it.

I'll also correct my original post.

Jack:

Paragon offers two versions of this fuel pump. A new, Delphi replacement for around $30 and a rebuilt original for around $150. I don't know which one you desire/want. Their catalog indicates that they rebuild the old original cores. Call and ask for a price for rebuilding if you supply the core. Maybe you can save a few dollars.

I do not know of anyone else who is rebuilding the later type (crimped) fuel pumps at this time. Some years ago, Goat Hill Classics did this type work, but he has proven to be unreliable. I have also seen a few rebuilt originals on E-bay, but did not recognize the sellers...so I cannot provide a contact/recommendation.

I also believe Long Island Corvette Supply sells these. Must be the same pump for 1967-68. Don't know who their rebuilder is. Cost is also around $150.
