Leaking Fuel Pump - Easy to replace?

[toolboxchev]

For a 72? Or California truck? Mine is just a 2, in and out. Mine is a 70. Just crimp the fuel line coming out of the cab with a pair of vise grips. Should stop the flow. Make sure you get the gasket in, and the pushrod goes back in the way it came out.

Sometimes the pushrod will try to fall out. Some guys use a dab of grease to hold it for the few seconds it takes to get the pump in place. If that doesn't work, most blocks have a tapped hole on the front you can run a bolt into that will hold the rod in place while you get the pump tightened in. Just don't forget to remove that bolt afterward.
