Hello everyone, I live in Colombia and I bought a Ford Thunderbird 1955, I have problems with the gasoline pressure, I accelerate the car and fuel does not arrive and it turns off, we think it is a problem with the fuel pump, I would like to know references and brands of pumps that I can buy to replace the one that the car has, or know what other problem my car may have.

Probably the problem is vapur lock. You can put an electronic fuel pump on the Thunderbird. Never use a fuel pump made in China. they are very bad!!
Good luck.

Do not buy an aftermarket pump from China. I went through 3 and they all failed miserably. Find an original and have it rebuilt, or send yours in to be rebuilt. I have 2 so if the one on the car fails I swap them out and send get the bad one rebuilt. Then you are never without. Modern fuel is terrible for these old fuel pumps

You can find a rebuild kit at Hill's Automotive.



I have rebuilt these pumps in the past; however, the price of the rebuilding kit became so expensive that I used this company to rebuild my last fuel pump.
