Re: PO has me PO'd
Got todo a little work on the fuel pump the other day. Found out that paint stripper helps remove baked on 37 year old gaskets the PO never took down to bare metal. Also, seems like my fuel filter needed adapters that has o-rings in it, all the fittings I tried were sloppy, lucky for me the local hydraulic shop knows what he is talking about.
The bend in the fuel hose is a little tight, just starting to collapse, so I plan to buy a spring to reinforce that. Weird thing is, my main fuel line is 5/16" and the fuel pump is 3/8" Also, I found out that if you use assembly lube on the fuel pump drive shaft it will keep it up in the block while you install the fuel pump Make sure your engine is at the proper rotation, so the shaft is as far up in the block as it will go, makes it easier to assemble the fuel pump
