The fuel pump question was an interesting exercise in the question of the Accessory Group 29 marking.  First, the April 1953 Kaiser Carolina Parts Supplement has no listing on fuel pumps; page two of the supplements states that anything not listed in the supplement is the same as used in the 1953 Kaiser deLuxe and refers to the February 1953 Parts List Supplement for 1952 and 1953 Kaiser cars.  That lists the vacumm booster type pump was used on all 1953 Kaiser Deluxe models.  It is possible that the single action pump might be installed on some cars; does the car with the single action pump have anything listed under one of the M headers (M1 through M9 was header; if used, a number would appear below the header).  If there is a number, the single pump may be factory installed and I would like to know.

The Accessory Group for the 1953 Kaiser deLuxe lists only Oil Bath Air Cleaner and Directional Signals in the group; the Confidential Bulletin introdicing the Carolina shows these items as standard equipment on the Carolina.
