Do I use an old NOS fuel pump?

I've had this pump forever and a day, new in the box. Do I dare try it on my 327 or leave it for the originality freaks? Last thing I want is a ruptured diaphragm leaking fuel into my oil, or under the hood for that matter.

I'd leave it for the "freaks". It's only going to go up in value...

Then I'd suggest that you don't use it as is. Have heard many times about ruptured diaphrams due to drying out and cracking. Also have heard that the older diaphrams are not compatible with all the additives ( ethanol ) in todays gasolines.
There is a company in Toronto area that will rebuild it for you at a quite reasonable cost.

Since you've had this for quite some time you know atleast how old it is. The thing with buying a fuel pump is you don't know how long the vendor had it or how they came to have it. Thus is may be no more reliable than yours. That's why I'd suggest a quality fresh rebuild.

I'm sure a few of us have fuel pumps on our cars older than that. The pump on my 59 Dodge looks OEM and works fine. I believe the fuel pump on my Laurentian was replaced in the mid 80's so that's 25 years..

I am leaning to buying a new one although at first I planned to use it.

Quite a novelty having the original style serviceable pump on it for all to see, but that novelty would wear off real quick if it gives trouble.

Carter still makes that same pump with adjustible inlet and outlets looks exactly like the comp carter I just put on my 55, Heck I'd use it I don't think you have to worry about the diaphram drying out untill it has been immersed/soaked then left sitting for a few years, I bet that virgin diaphram is as soft and supple as new
just my 2 cents

My coffee table around 1980.

No prize, but who wants to guess what the intake manifold is?

Hint---one of the correct applications would apply to a car that this site caters to...

for the cost of a new one (I guess $40), I'd buy a new one.

Yeah, I think so. I just thought it would look so neat to have one of those screwed together units, but I guess if I really want that I can go out and likely buy one still that is fresher than this one.

Yup, genuine GM, last one they had in stock, it was discontinued. 65 Beaumont L79 was one of the applications.

Expensive too compared to a speed shop intake at that time. I think it was about 200 bucks!!!

I sold it to Winnipeg to an acquaintance, he sold it to someone in Mt Brydges (sp?) Ontario or something like that?

About 5 years ago it was in the old car trader at a classic site in Ontario. I called and rattled off the last 4 of the VIN to confirm and he said "yup!"

I sold for 8 grand, it was for sale for 23 grand!

Hmmm, that's maybe a good thought. I love the look of those old repairable pumps.

True Connections in River Side CA has the repop L79 pumps. If they look the same, I would head in that direction.

This is a laugh to see. If I didn`t know better, I would think you took that picture in my house. All my 67 Caprice NOS parts have taken over. No more clothes. I shouldn`t say all the clothes are gone, some are wrapped around NOS steering colums
