66 BB fuel pump part number and picture?

Back in the 80's Kokomo had all the radio's. With that moving to the 90's to Mexico and now most id over in Asia, perhaps some of this went down there, but not for long. Fuel Senders Delphi are big into at GM and Ford are made in Ketetaro Mexico, a very neat place to visit too, if you like 16th century Spanish Colonial.

When I worked for United Components we had a plant in Mexico, it was just over the border from MCallen, Texas. We shipped low tech unfinished
components there. They did the final assembly and shipped the finished product to a DC in MCallen, TX. It was then shipped back to the main DC in IL.

There is another thread with similar fuel pump content.

I posted a pic there of 40248 I have, very old one, only has a B or an 8. Also a 40366 that has a 6H in front of the 40366, similar to the one here with 4H.

Anyone know a fuel pump shop in California that is making the AC C2 repop pumps?

THey might have some insight into what the 2 digit code means...

The only one I know of is Goat Hill Classics in Long Beach.

By the way, it seems to me that some time ago there was a complete story about fuel pump date codes and decoding them in one of the Corvette magazines. I think it might have been Vette Vues. I've got back issues for years here, but I just don't recall which issue it was in.

Joe,

Goat Hill Classics used to sell at Spring & Fall Carlisle in Pennsylvania. I talked with him several years ago about the date codes on the "4657" AC fuel pumps. He totally disagreed with me. I believe his thinking was that it would restrict the application of some of his high priced 1965 and newer rebuilt AC fuel pumps that he was trying to sell. I have not seen him in recent years at the Spring & Fall Carlisle swap meets.

A little crisper - some company based in California bought the AC crimping tools to make these pumps. Still pushing the envelope.

David, if you have other data that lend to a rationalization, I am all ears, in other words we should see a lot of original pumps with dates that make sense. But then considering that my car has had 3 pumps since the introduction of alcohol fuels... there may not be too many original pumps left.

Other than Goat Hill, there are only 3 companies in California that I know of that are into manufacturing (or, commissioning the manufacturing of) reproduction Corvette parts. These are EC Products/Pacifica Corvette of Atascadero, CA, Cranes Corvette of San Diego, CA, and America's Finest Corvettes of Ramona, CA. There may be others, but those are the only ones I know of. None of these are really what one would call "big outfits".

Goat Hill is Paul Baker who posts here occasionally. You can send him a message through the Members List radio button above, although I do not think he is an avid email or internet user. You may want to search using the Goat Hill name.

YES, several sources only show a phone which is a bit early to ring out in Cali.

Ron,
The HH40669 AC fuel pump (where the 1st "H" = August and the 2nd "H" =1968 according to my date code theory) fits perfectly with the body build date of Oct. 1968. Every day I feel more confident about my date code theory.
Thanks for the input.
Dave

Terry,
This must be the person that I talked to at Spring & Fall Carlisle several years ago. If it is he had absolutely no interest in my (1965 & newer) AC fuel pump date code theory.

It may have been one and the same. I think you posted earlier the likely reason for his, or any other vendor's, lack of interest in the date codes. Any vendor of any product has nothing to gain from our obsessive pursuit of perfection.

Re: 66 BB fuel pump part number and picture?

Until the commercial interest presents itself, as it has in the case of dated wires, the supply chain for restoration parts will stick to providing the correct part number.

Should judging - the technical world - ever encounter the true meaning behind these codes, thus creating a technical demand, commercial opportunity will follow.

David, don't take offense, I do not believe the answer is there just yet.
How to break this code is to get at least 10 known original cars by model/part per month and then get this over the years of interest.

VIN-Build date-Motor=427-Motor Date-pump code

You'll need to do this for each motor configuration

Get the data and then run some simple datamining.

If you have that kind of data and are willing to share in this effort and others are as well the code can be clarified.
