Fuel Pump Restoration
I’m trying to determine if Fred Ballard is still restoring fuel pumps. Have an original assembly line pump off my car I’d like to restore. Thank you.

I’ve sent 2 pumps to Fred to have rebuilt.
First one was a complete rebuild and restore with plating. Took 11 months. I sent another for a survivor rebuild to Fred on Friday and received it back today! Looks amazing and super quick turn around. 4 day turn around…. Might also add I am just a couple of hours away from where Fred’s shop is so I’m sure that factored into the quick turnaround. Thanks Fred!
