I took the fuel pump off the car and found the flange number (M884s) if that helps establish the fuel pump as original to the Darrin.

First of all, thanks for all your constructive comments with respect to the fuel pump. The current Carter fuel pump on the car looks old and on the flange has the numbers MO-735. that number does not seem to register with any Carter fuel pumps in my search. Thoughts please and thank you again.

I need to acquire a new fuel pump. Any suggestions on where to purchase? I assume they are mfg by Carter. Thoughts on an electric fuel pump. ... thanks in advance.

I am looking for suggestions where I can find a 6 v generator, voltage regulator, and a fuel pump. My new battery has trouble holding a charge. I would like to keep the KD #426 as original as possible. Any suggestions from the experts most welcome.

I am interested rewiring one of my Kaiser Darrin's. Does anyone out there have information where I can find old cloth wrap, wire harnesses, and connectors and plugs? Any suggestions and thoughts greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Darrin Forum / Kaiser Darrin Gas Cap

« on: February 25, 2010, 12:48:25 PM »

I was looking at the two Kaiser Darrins in my warehouse last week and noticed one of the gas caps was painted the same color as the body of the car and the second car contained a metal cap. Can anyone tell me if the origional caps are suppose to metal or painted? Interestingly, the cars were produced very close together on the assembley line so my guess if one of them is not correct. Any help from experts will be appriciated.

Darrin Forum / Re: DARRIN OWNERS RESPONSE NEEDED

« on: February 24, 2009, 06:20:37 PM »

Terry,

I'm sorry for not responding sooner. I have not checked the site in a few weeks. I certainly would like the newsletter and register and would be happy to pay for my share of the cost. Within the last year I have purchased a Darrin (#429) and found the register and prior newsletter very helpful in researching the history of the car. Please stay the course and best regards,

Bob Morris

Darrin Forum / fuel pump keiser darrin

« on: November 30, 2008, 09:06:40 AM »

To anyone out there in the know:

I recently purchesed a Kaiser Darrin and I'm in need of a fuel pump to get the car running. On my maiden trip down the highway I had the car running smoothly until it shut down. I tapped on the fuel pump a few times and was able to make my way home just before it died on me again. I would like to swap out the fuel pump if anyone out there has any suggestion on how to locate one. Thanks in advance for any help.
