Review on Airtex 429 Mechanical Fuel Pump: Superior Performance for Optimal Fuel Delivery by Bill Maki

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfectly working replacement part (but not a 'proper' restoration, if that's important to you)

Matches my 1942 Chev PU perfectly. The price is better than the parts store. Note. As many have pointed out in their reviews, this is not a glass bowl fuel pump. But don't expect it either. The product photo does not show the glass bowl. If you're a "purist" and want a glass bowl that looks original, you'll have to look elsewhere. But be aware. Many of the older production glass bowl units have old rubber diaphragms which are short lived against modern ethanol based fuels. But if you're looking for a functional replacement, this part fits and works perfectly.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Dull packaging
