Tii Fuel Pump W&N?

[Andy74tii]

Hi folks, it seems like my fuel pump on my 74 tii is about to give up the ghost finally. With the recent hot weather, I came back from a short drive today and it would not hold idle, and was super noisy. So at long last, looking for options. I looked at the Walloth Nesch site and found this:

Additionally, it appears you can buy the expansion tank as well:

I thought these things were close to unobtainable, and checking Mesa, their price pump alone is $750. Are the W&N pumps the real deal? I was thinking I would have to go the E28 option, but if these W&N prices are for real, maybe worth it to go that way. Any experience out there with these pumps? Am I missing something?

 

Thanks,

You should already have the expansion tank. Look in the Articles section, pretty sure there's an article about converting to an E28 fuel pump. I did this with my '73 Tii when the original failed & rebuilt ones are $1K.

That is a 5series pump they are selling.  Probably cheaper to buy domestically. 

 

Reuse your expansion tank.   Clean thoroughly and paint it.

Yes, looking at the picture, you're right. OK then, I will get a 5 series pump and re read Keith's article --- thanks!
