M38A1 Vacuum/Fuel Pump Question
Posted: Mon Aug 06, 2012 7:34 pm
The mechanical vacuum/fuel pump in my 52 M38A1 is corroded and needs much TLC.
I have two questions.
The lower section of the pump contained a small amount of oil. Perhaps I have misunderstood something. I thought the vacuum system was dry. Is there supposed to be a lubricant in this system?
In any case the pump needs attention. Is there any particular vendor you would recommend for a rebuild kit, or to do the rebuild for me?
I am dead in the water with my restoration right now. Any advice or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
