Manual Fuel pump install 67-72 C10
PSA for any other amateurs stumbling on this in a google search... When youtube and the rest of the interweb say lift the pin, what they really mean is PUSH the pin up into the block.
That is all.... ![]()

Re: Manual Fuel pump install 67-72 C10
Yes, and almost nobody mentions the short bolt in the front of the engine that lines up with the push rod. I remove it and put in a longer bolt that can snug up against the rod to hold the rod in the up position. Then, when done installing the fuel pump remove the longer bolt and re-install the short bolt. Shown here by forum member Longhorn Man in this thread:

remember to put RTV on the short bolt when you put it back on to prevent oil leaks.

Re: Manual Fuel pump install 67-72 C10
I spent a lot of time frustrated while trying to install a fuel pump before I learned about that bolt here on this board. Sure makes the job easier!
