    Is this the correct original fuel pump for a 1955 CJ5?

    Cool. Looks like mine is dead on! It was an NOS pump that I bought for $35.

    $35? Where did you get it? Is it installed and working?

    I got it on Ebay like a year or more ago. It is sitting on my desk, so not installed. The odd thing is that it looks like the rubber and seals are all fresh. They are definitely NOT dry or rotted. It is definitely NOT used at all though. Maybe it was NOS that someone rebuilt?? Not sure. I will eventually get around to putting it on to see if it works, etc. Until then, it is one of the coolest paperweights I have EVER had!

    Nice find. I tink a paper-weight like that would look cool on my desk at work too. Good conversation starter. :)

    Why yes, through a strange co-incidence some guy did talk me into buying it, but he foolishly told me to use it on an engine when it is obviously far more valuable as a paper weight :twisted:

    p.s.- Was the one you got for Grumpy put together with Torx screws? I'm sure from it's condition mine is NOS but no one else seems to have ever seen one that wasn't using Phillips hardware. :rofl:

    Yes, Grumpy's has Torx screws. I will switch them someday. Actually, I want to buy a few more of those carbs to keep on stock.
