Re: Mechanical Fuel Pump not pumping

Did the fuel pump push rod slide out? There are two bolt holes on the front pass. side of the block. The top one can be used to lock the pump rod if a longer 3/8" shank bolt is screwed into the threaded hole. Maybe somebody put a bolt that's too long in the hole and it's got the the push rod stuck..... maybe?
