As previously discussed the McFarlane & Weldon pumps do not have the A thru D models included on their applicability lists. I'm just wondering if anyone has actually installed one of the non-Dukes options with the blessing of an IA or if everyone has eventually opted for the Dukes overhaul. It just seems crazy to pay $425 additional for an "overhaul" that no doubt reuses the same motor, housing, head casting, etc. such that all one is actually receiving is a reseal than to buy all new just to satisfy some obscure paperwork when all of the part numbers are interchangeable. I'm leaning towards the Weldon pump but if anyone has any experience with that solution I'd be grateful for your hard earned experience report. Or any further thoughts on the matter from others.
Thanks, Steve G.

See my post above You need to replace with the dukes with dukes The other ones are certified for the newer model 337's not our older 337's The fuel pumps in the older models are in the wings the newer ones are located in a different place the engine compartment if i remember correctly My mechanic told me to replace with the certified ones for my 337b I am located in Canada
