Ones without the glass sediment bowl or filter canister are a bit more compact.

Any pump that screws together is rebuildable. I'd think at least the diaphragm and some other internals are the same across many different engine applications. Different pressure ratings and pump arms.
Does that one have vacuum?, you are still looking for one that does right?
No sir that unit does not have vacuum but I now believe that I will not find a fuel pump with vacuum for my 1966 Bronco 250 with vacuum wipers, as the 250 was first available in 1969? and Ford did not have vacuum wipers on vehicles then as they were all electric. I found 170/200 pumps with vacuum for wipers and while it could be made to work on the 250 I am now on the lookout for a rebuildable non-vac fuel pump for a 250 and will go with my original idea of a vac reservoir possibly with electric feature. I believe these may be on vehicles I could find at picnpul. And from what I remember my Bronco wipers are currently using vac from some other source any way so I may be fine with a non-electric vac reservoir. Either way I feel a reservoir is the best solution for vacuum wiper performance.
I have a later 200 with the hex log in my inventory fully expecting to have an early 6 cylinder Mustang in my future and that would make a good replacement engine. I would like to have a rebuildable fuel pump for that but won't need the vac feature since early Mustangs were all electric wipers as far I know. I appreciate your help. And if any body is interested rebuildable pumps for 17/200 are on ebay.
After reading many reports of currently available fuel pumps with poor performance I figure an older rebuildable pump is best for reliability. May need a pressure regulator but that is easily available although possibly junky china crap as well.
I ran an old car w/ vacuum wipers all the way thru high school which had a non-functioning vacuum pump. The wipers always moved except WOT- and how often is that?
Fabricating a reservoir system would cover the occasional low intake vacuum periods I would think. It's unlikely an electric vacuum pump would be necessary unless you need full-performance wipers at all throttle conditions.
Is your original pump itself rebuildable? I would think so. I've been able to send Rambler parts off to be rebuilt, there are still places that will do it. May cost a couple of hundred though, that's been my experience with the rare parts on the old AMC car.

I understand about WOT! When the 170/3 speed was in it WOT was frequent but not with the 250. Yes probably don't need electric just a reservoir and certainly many candidates at picnpull I can remember seeing them occasionally while scavenging good stuff.
The pump I have now is a newer replacement crimp together unit that was likely purchased about 15 years ago when the 250 went in. Couple hundred is a bit more than what I expected though but just the way it is.

Maybe not as much for the Ford stuff. The AMC is a small market, there's two companies in the mid west that specialize- supply low demand high. . Good guys, old generation and pros; they're not ripping folks off, just know they have a niche.
Keep looking on ebay for NOS, there's no need to rebuild a crimped aftermarket pump IMO.
NOS would be the best for sure and will keep looking on ebay and others. So now looking for two rebuildable pumps, one for a 200 and one for a 250. No vacuum needed.
I noticed in the application chart it is for 144/170. I doubt if a 200 would be a different pump unless it has higher volume which seems unlikely. Will try to contact the seller just to be sure.
