notice the outlet is 180* opposite the inlet and the PO had to use about 6 different brass fittings to get it to work. What year or model is this supposed to be for? Ill prob replace it with the correct one right? I have a 01/78 so im supposed to have the pump with the 'snorkel' outlet fitting.

If it works, then just run it. Why change it? John

looks like a 65 to 70s or so pump before the oil cooler or filter housing was in the way

Yep. Same one in my '67.

1. I dont like having all those places a leak could spring from
2. Im really anal about having the correct part for mission critical things like this
3. i figure im losing some pressure with the fuel having to make all those bends, just like air does in HVAC and exhaust systems. Does that make sense?

If the fuel pump is of a more recent manufacture date, it will have a second boss in the top cover for the later model applications. You can remove the cover, drill and tap the other boss, then plug the old one.

Or you could spend a buck sixty on a new O.E. pump since the aftermarket supply of Kyosan pumps dried up.

i looked at it again and it does have another boss that i can drill/tap. question is: what is the thread spec that is stock on these? thanks!

If you are going to run rubber hose, you might as well just forget about 'stock' and go with 1/8npt for both holes. Cheaper and easier to find everything for.

A. Brass fittings probably aren't going to corrode and start leaking
B. It is as close as you can get to the correct part without spending $150 to get another one that looks just like it
C: Low velocity, low pressure gasoline doesn't really care if it has to make a few bends or loops to get to your carburetor ( and it doesn't act like air in an a/c system )
The only problem I see with it is that there is a rubber hose where there is supposed to be a steel fuel line.

good to know. i always wondered

thats the OEM short hose that makes the jump from the hard line about a foot away, no?

Maybe I was looking at the photo wrong. Yes, it is normal to have the rubber on the inlet side coming from the fuel filter, the outlet side is steel all the way from the pump to the carb. The less rubber you have under pressure from fuel, the safer you are.

That was a shocker for me. I'm also thinking when the Toyota stock dries up that will be it as well.

OEM fuel pumps for applications though 12/1972 are all discontinued.

The remainder forward seem readily available currently.

I always figure that, when a part price doubles or triples almost overnight, like the fuel pumps for pre-79's did, the supply is drying up.

Yeah I've been keeping even the bad ones. Hoping to still find someone in AU that still makes the rebuild kits.

I only ever saw a couple pre-72 cruisers in Oz. We have far, far more here now. Better chance of getting someone like Marv or you to do it I'd say.

As an aside, in my experience most of the after market Cruiser stuff in Oz is of very low (like ccot low) quality and most is made in Thailand. I'd love it if someone like you would make it.
