A-906 for the MA was AC-1537632, and may have had 7632 stamped at the flange.
WO-A-1220 for the MB was AC-1537766, and may have had 7766 stamped at the flange.
I do not have either of these pumps on hand.

- My garage: Restored Old Henry, and have had this WC51 on the road around 3 years now... Currently finishing a brace of Ben Hur trailers, and starting a 67 Galaxie fastback. Concurrent with the WC I restored a 74 TR6... Oh the joys.
Re: WWII JEEP FUEL PUMP
Despite the arguments people are giving you,. I do know this to be correct. They were a replacement for the metal bowl, which was found to be a contributory factor in vapor lock in the early MB/GPWs. I've only messed with them for about 30 years so far... Done lots of research... And if people don't want to accept the truth, well, that's their problem...RANGER wrote:Regardless of what is preached as Gospel on other sites, the WWII Jeep at one time did have factory installed fuel pumps with the glass bowl.

Re: WWII JEEP FUEL PUMP
Hi Scott,
Two different things are being stated here.
Ranger posted that glass bowled fuel pumps were installed at the factory on MBs / GPWs.
You posted that at some time in the life of a MB / GPW they received glass bowled fuel pumps as government issued replacements. I can see this as a possibility ( but so far unproven with hard data ) in the post war WW2 period.
So in your about 30 years of working around MB / GPW fuel pumps do you have any hard data to back up Ranger's statement that glass bowled fuel pumps were installed new on new MBs / GPWs at the factory by either Willys or Ford ?
