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???

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.

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.

Bob,

It would appear that Chev CMPs started using fuel pumps with priming levers during 1943. Please see attached image from Spare parts list C15-03.

It also appears that the fuel pump bowls were metal: https://www.lwdparts.com/product/fue...-ac-fuel-pump/
