    I have a 355 F1 whose F1 pump is on the way out. It comes on after every shift when the car is running and idling. The problem is there is none to be found. Even the 360 Power Unit is NLA.

    Anyone got a lead on one?

    That is a real shame. Can't it be rebuilt?

    I hope someone helps you out.

    I just saw that too. It's not plug and play but at least it is available for a decent price (Ferrari prices that is).

    Flash, is there a success testimonial? If it does work, it is better than having to do a bunch of modifications.

    Assuming you have already done the Hill conversion, are you looking for the pump motor? That's what it appears your problem is.

    When my 360 pump motor died the last time, I bought a 430 pump motor and it works just fine for a few years now. It looks much beefier, so hopefully lasts longer than the 360 motor.

    It's been a while, but I bought from the guy who used to post here a lot, Juri, he had motors for these systems on eBay.

    No this car never had the 360 pump conversion . It looks 355 original.

    I recommend the Hill conversion-- I've had this on my car for over a decade and been very happy. The pump motors still fail, but after the conversion it is a fairly cheap and simple procedure to replace the electric motor.

    There is no such thing as a new 355 pump. Use the Hill conversion kit. I have installed a bunch of them.

    The 355 pump was a spectacularly stupid design. No reason to repeat that mistake even if you could get the parts.

    If the pump is cycling that often it probably needs an accumulator.

    Yes, it does need an accumulator.
