Ebay was the only place I could find one. You can try vendors in the Old Autos newspaper. It sure was not cheap as it was $100 US for a new old stock one. I had also bought a rebuilt pump but it did not have enough fuel pressure and it did not work for very long.
Thanks Dale, I got a kit for my carb a Carter 2010s from Mikes and it was not correct. The accelerator plunger they supplied had about 3/8" shaft movement before plunger would move and my original was a solid plunger shaft, what carb do you have? Will check out then and now for the fuel pump kit.
Well I have a Carter WA-1 carburetor. when I first made contact with Mike's they almost insisted that I located the small brass tag that is fixed to the carburetor for proper identification. I have attached a picture of this for you.
The kit that I got was Item Number K 493, and I also bought a new Brass Float item number FL 1030. My kit went together very well.
The title of this thread was for a 239 L6 Fuel Pump, are you still looking for a kit? incase you are ? and since I have my folder open I will provide the part numbers for the kit which. I have already said where I got it so the part numbers are
1- FPK FPA36 Kit
2- FRP 6P Bottom bowl
Again good luck
dale

Yes Dale I am still in the hunt for a fuel pump kit, and thank you for your info. I need to get my pump info off the pump as it looks like Then and Now has a great selection for Pontiac.
The carb deal was they said the 2010s was a rare number, but I believe they were on all 53-54 Pathfinders of which they made around 40,000. They did stand up and refund my purchase which I thought was generous of them.(sorry for the rabbit trail)
By the way, if you truly do have a Pontiac L6 239 engine, and you ever have to take your oil pump off your engine, be very careful, the top of your oil pump has a peculiar set of blade like cross members made of spring steel. These cross members make connection to the bottom end of your distributor !!!!!!. I lost mine and I am currently looking for a set?????
Just a short note of caution, anyway good luck with your build.
Dale

Pontiac started to use a Rochester B carburator in 1951. Both Carter and Rochester were used until 1954. I think there must of been a supply issue. I get a lot of parts from Graves Auto who advertise in Old Autos. A month ago I bought a timing chain and an intake gasket set for a 239 from him and the intake set was an original GM item. His prices were very reasonable. He may have a fuel pump rebuild kit.
