Has anybody seen a black Corona fuel pump before? The sticker looks correct, but normally the pump is original yellow cad... Image Unavailable, Please Login
Matthias, Here is the Corona pump when taken off my car 04054. It was black with the BCD sticker. I had it restored to the gold cad finish after reading your Compendium. That may have been a mistake if you have now seen another with a black painted finish. Image Unavailable, Please Login
The pump casing which you had gold cad finished needs to be removed from the aluminum lower pump casting before plating. It is a slip on fit then secured by three peened points. How in the heck did you remove those peens? I've broken a number of picks, resisted a miniature drill hole and scratched my head on how to get those peens out. Any help is much appreciated. Ended up just shining the original, preserved the tag too. Image Unavailable, Please Login
that looks like a mistake.... but the black on the filter doesn`t look original! Should be grey with yellow print... my picture is from an untouched Feb. 1972 US-model, your Dino is Mai 1972, so close by... anybody else with black pumps? to me it looks like the early ones from 1971 until at least mid 1972 have been black, later ones yellow cad...
Respectfully disagree, some fuel filter canisters were black, my Euro GTS is black with yellow FISPA lettering. Perhaps Grey only was a US destination item? Never seen any other parts of the fuel filter painted black besides the canister Image Unavailable, Please Login
interesting... I have seen black ones with white print (late 70s model) but not with yellow print yet can you take a picture please, what`s the chassis no.? I agree the top of the filter (lid) was never painted black we need more examples please... the E-series mess is unbelievable .....
Francis, do you think it`s still the original one, or was it replaced during life time? Is your fuel filter canister grey or black?
I think it's original. The fuel canister is grey with yellow. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

Miniflex I've seen no. 1 or 2 markings On 05702 I found originals on the fuel vent hoses, plated them and they're still in great condition PS - Giotto's mounting bracket is upside down, the edge cutouts go around the protruding casting ears
My hoard. These used to be fairly easy to find new on Ebay and not too expensive but not for a good while now. Image Unavailable, Please Login
The car was untouched when I bought it Matthias and I'm certain the filter was original. Tom Shaugnessy is currently selling an identical filter that is all black as well. Ferrari 250 Fispa fuel filter housing | eBay Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Iain, I agree, that looks totally original... seems a very rare version... so the FISPA print (is not the early version, not the late version) see #05304: yellow cad pump, grey filter... but also grey painted lid and the rare FISPA print! looks like complete Fispa fuel filter mess during E-series... I love it! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

)) #03666 didn't have an Fispa fuel filter factory fitted originally only from #03678 the filter was factory fitted, but a few early E-series received an fuel filter on warranty by Ferrari Image Unavailable, Please Login
from #04068 the Corona fuel pump received a new part number (607E-821427) until #04066 (607E-821087) maybe until #04066 black ones, from #04068 yellow cad is there a difference between black ones and the yellow cad ones?
Matthias, Alfa used a similar FISPA filter in their SPICA injected models - the Montreal and US market spiders. These had black cannisters (but a different head fitting) so it looks like FISPA produced a variety of finishes and this is likely the reason why different versions ended up in E series cars as they likely simply sent out whatever colour they had recently batch produced. Here is a filter from a Montreal. Image Unavailable, Please Login
