Howdy fellas and fell-ettes.
After a great vacation in Rome and London, I'm back in Tampa. I did replace the mechanical fuel pump with an electric unit I had left over from one of the foreign cars, and it works just fine for the mighty '65 New Yorker. No issues, plenty of power, no leaks, just right. I was going use the Carter 4070 someone recommended, but that unit was too large to locate near the gas tank. THEN, I just decided to locate the smaller unit in the engine compartment, and it was an easy install, it pulls fuel just fine, AND, the knocking sound created by the fuel pump pushrod is now gone.
Wipers: AutoZone could not sell me replacement "refills", nor new blades to fit the NYer. And, I'm embarrassed to say I could not get the rubber blades out of the nice chrome ANCO units the car came with when I bought it. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Rich back in Tampa
