Good news!
I rebuilt the fuel pump on my dad’s 1940 Buick last fall and was surprised how long a rubber diaphragm can last in the right environment. But I have no proof that fuel pump wasn’t rebuilt in 1976 😉

Well, now that Elgy has solved his issue we can derail a bit.
Dad's had a lot of cool stuff, I sort of live vicariously through him:

Thank you for the pictures 986tate!

Wow, a nice TR3, 356 Roadster and a very cool Buick , I am happy that you grew up with a very good influence (and good taste) from your Dad those got to be awesome memories.

Perhaps would be nice to start a new tread for the members to post pictures of their family rides and how these influenced our love for cars
