Original fuel pump rebuild

**TimG** · #1 07-31-2021, 01:36 PM

I sent off the original fuel pump from my 1971 LT1 to Volunteer Vette Products for a rebuild. The turnaround time was about two months. I asked them not to restore the pump since it is off of a 1,400 mile car. The results look great. It appears there is a small incision made on the engine block side of the pump to remove the crimped portion. Other than this incision, there is no evidence of the rebuild. I'm very happy with the results.

That's good to know. Is VVP doing their own?

Fred Balard has done me well, but I wonder how much longer he will be doing them.

Here is the link to Volunteer Corvette Products. When I called for an update three weeks ago they told me that it was picked up and should be ready in two weeks. That let me know it is done by an outside source. It may be Fred that eventually did the rebuild.

That could explain why Fred is so busy.
