C2 Fuel Pump Reco

[Frank E.]

Just looking for a recommendation from anyone that's had experience with a Paragon replacement fuel pump? I have to replace a 4657 and since this is a 66 300 HP motor driver, I'm not real interested in paying the extra money for an original. I've used Paragon for sometime but never on a moving nor relied on part. Any one in particular to stay away from?

Thanks...

Paragon's pump looks like an Airtex 4657, which is a good pump. Just installed one myself, obtained from my FLAPS.

Paragon's price is cheap, if it's an Airtex.

When you go to intall your new pump, position the crank at the #1 firing position. That will recess the push rod and make the job much easier. And don't forget the temporary bolt trick to hold the rod in place.

Thanks for the input.... They're about as cheap a price that I've run across. Usually the lower price reflects an Asian pump which I don't really want if I can at all avoid it.....

Thanks for the tip of #1 positioning.....
