Stewart-Warner is still in business, although they are located in PA, not in IL, but they still manufacture fuel pumps. I called them this morning.
I spoke with one of their folks today to get an idea of whether they would be willing to find the tooling, if it is still around, to produce a run of 240A fuel pumps. They would be made in the USA and be identical to the original ones, if they can find the tooling and specs. The gentleman at SW wanted to know how much demand there would be for these pumps, and what they could sell them for.
Could we get some indications of interest for this item? If there is enough demand, these folks might be willing to produce a run of pumps and service kits for them (the original pumps were rebuildable, I think). It would be very cool to have these available- nothing looks like them, and from the postings I've seen the reason that they were so popular is that they were very reliable and robust units.
Please post if you are interested. I will volunteer to be the organizer on this etc etc. Let me know.
