Hello: I need a fuel pump fo my 259, v-8 1960 studebaker lark. I
can't find any markings on the pump,but it does have a glass bowel.
What make is that. Also, i read that some guys have had problems with
replacement pumps,mainly leaking. I notice Stude International has a
$38 pump, and a $65 pump. Also can a replacement pump be purchased
with the glass bowel? Rebuild kits cost the same as the pump. Mine
leaks but functions o.k. Any suggestions.

Regards,Sheldon

I would rebuild yours, that would be a Carter M-2573S most likely. Most
vendors should have a kit for it. If it's leaking out of the vent that
is most likely either the stem seal or diaphragm, either one of which
will be replaced if you kit it.
