Info needed: CMP fuel pump and dizzy????

[Mike K]

The WW2 GMC CCKW pump has a hand primer and metal bowl, it will fit a Chev 216. But looking on-line, rebuild kits are no longer available and NAPA sells a replacement pump . Part No. AC-429 - no hand primer though.

My C8 has the original 216 engine, I fitted a GMC CCKW fuel pump with a hand primer and metal bowl, I bought the CCKW pump NOS many years ago from Auto Surplus in Mitcham . Holden ( local GM car ) Red motor fuel pump kits might fit the earlier GM AC pumps, being AC brand. Side by side , a Holden fuel pump looks to be identical to a older Chev pump.

You need to find kits that are suitable for modern fuel.

New CCKW pump from the Netherlands.

I’ll dig the parts out in a bit to better show.

The early CCKW and Jeep engines both used a 2 valve fuel pump with primer levers and metal bowls. From my understanding the only difference was the actuating arm that rode on the cam was different. One arm pointed up and the other pointed down. These are the same fuel pump that Chevy used just minus the priming lever. The good news is that the Jeep portion of the hobby has almost everything available to them. Joes Motor Pool products reproduces both the Jeep fuel pump and high quality rebuild kits. The rebuild kits will work with the Chevy 216 pumps.

My Jeep has a fuel pump with the primer and I love it. When the Jeep sits for a time, I can easily give the pump a handful of pump ups and I’ve got fuel right up at the carb. I’ve got an original CCKW fuel pump to rebuild for the Otter project. I also bought a new made fuel pump with the priming lever to fit on my C15A.

Here is the link to Joes Motor Pool fuel pumps. Most of the Jeep parts vendors sell their products as well.

That is useful information. Yes you can buy just about everything for a MB GPW now.

Hi Jordan.....

Are you saying the rebuild kit for a Jeep fuel pump (Hopefully made with a modern rubber diaphragm) will interchange for rebuilding a CMP Chev pump???

Interesting interchange........ as we all know that the Jeep PCV will fit a CMP and so will the horn rubbing block on the steering shaft....

What else fits a CMP???

[Jordan Baker]

The pumps are all basically the same. It’s just the actuating lever that goes into the engine and rides on the came that are different. So you need to change that out


Bob, anything will fit if you hit it hard enough

....got some big hammers in the barn........

Original Chev parts do surface on Ebay and FB Marketplace....particularly the French PQ area parts postings....some what geographically limited and the asking price are more reasonable.

Good job on the big turtle ........ would love to see the guy's face that does the safety for registration........ but I know you have an ace up your sleeve.

Cheers

I have a WWII NOS Chev fuel pump assembly in the original box. It has a metal bowl and fuel pump lever. Part number is 1537579.
