Title: Fuel Pump Before and After
Post by: mjd 65 on October 25, 2013, 10:28:21 PM

I know most of you are familiar with the excellent restoration work Fred Ballard does on Carter fuel pumps, but I couldn't resist posting some pictures of my pump before and after.  This is the original 3911-S CARbureTER pump from my 65.  Shortly after I bought the car in 1979, I removed the fuel pump and threw it in a pile of rusty parts, where it sat for over three decades.  I never thought Fred could bring it back to life, but the pictures speak for themselves!

Fred also stands behind his efforts, as I returned mine for some "touchup" work.

I would appreciate it if Fred or someone would provide me his contact information.  I have a 72 351C correct date code for my engine I would like rebuilt.  If you know if he does later year pumps please share.

Thank you,
Brian
