My '71 rr 383 fuel pump suddenly started leaking ~ 2 weeks ago on a cold start. I turned off the car and inspected it, hoses are fine. Turned car back on then leak fixed itself. It's been this way for a few runs - leaks at cold startup then stops leaking after I turn car off, wait a few then back on. Or if I'm out cruising and park, then restart it's not an issue. Any suggestions on a good replacement mechanical fuel pump? Not concerned about OEM but want something that fits and works! Thanks!

Jegs Or Summit. I do prefer Napa. Had better luck with their part's. One note replace it now. They have been know to leak fuel into the motor check your oil.
