RE: IML: 1960 fuel pump

["Dick Benjamin" <dickb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Whoa, Nelly!

Read up on installing fuel pumps on the site.  You have to push up the
activating plunger and hold it out of the way of the fuel pump arm, to do
this you remove the access plug from under the pump mounting face.  You
might be able to goop it up with chassis grease to make it stay up in it's
den long enough to stick the pump past it, but I prefer not to put chassis
grease in the engine.

Read up on this in our club tech help pages.

Subject: IML: 1960 fuel pump

I'm installing a new fuel pump from NAPA, their part number M3672.  Does
anyone know if this is the correct one for a 1960?  Am having trouble
getting it installed, lining up the bolts has been a headache.  Or perhaps I
need to turn the engine a bit?

Thanks,
