Geezer-
I actually just read another forum where someone mentioned the fuel pump push rod. Are we talking about the actual steel bar that falls out of the engine when the pump is removed, or the lever doo-dad that is attached to the back of the pump itself? And I'm not sure I follow your question about the bolts. The only bolts I remember in that area are the 2 that hold the plate to the block, and the 2 more that hold the pump to the plate. Are you asking about something else?

Regardless, this makes me think I need to check around the pump with with my stethoscope now as well.
