12V 55 Amp Alternator Conversion Bundle Kit With OE Style Fuel Pump And Rod - Type 1 Engines

This OE-style mechanical “tilted” fuel pump is designed for Type 1 aircooled VW engines fitted with alternators, making it the ideal replacement for factory setups or alternator conversion builds. It replicates the original offset design, providing the clearance needed under the larger alternator body while maintaining an authentic vintage look.

Compatible with 100mm long fuel pump push rods (part number 113127307A), this fuel pump delivers consistent mechanical fuel delivery suitable for stock and mildly tuned engines. It is constructed from good-quality materials and is rebuildable, just like the original pumps—allowing for serviceability and long-term use.

This pump is also suitable for use with modern E10 fuel, making it a practical and reliable upgrade for today’s driving conditions.

Important installation notes:

• The alternator must be removed during installation due to the physical size of the pump.

• If the fuel inlet/outlet ports interfere with the intake manifold, the top section can be repositioned to achieve clearance.

Applications include:

• VW Beetle: 1960–1979

• VW Karmann Ghia: 1960–1974

• VW Splitscreen Van: 1960–1967

• VW Baywindow Van: 1968–1979

• VW Type 3: 1961–1973

Sold individually, this pump is a must-have for restorers and daily drivers wanting period-correct appearance and modern reliability.

This 12 volt, 55 amp alternator is a high-quality reproduction unit fitted with an internal voltage regulator, making it an ideal upgrade or replacement for your classic aircooled VW. It mirrors the style and function of the original alternators fitted to later VW models from 1974 to 1979, but is compatible with all years when converting from a dynamo or replacing an older alternator with an external regulator.

The built-in regulator simplifies the engine bay by removing the need for the separate external control box, and the easy-access top cover allows for quick servicing and inspection of the internal components. This alternator provides reliable 55 amp output—perfect for stock setups or mild electrical upgrades.

Please note: Wiring modifications will be required if you`re upgrading from an external regulator system. For higher electrical demands (like running a leisure battery or auxiliary equipment), check out our 75 amp alternator, part number AC9039448.
