They need number stamped into mounting flange of your old one to figure out what kit you need. Other alternative is to get adapter from Hot Heads that will allow you to run a later pump.

Regular Posts: 76 | I have a 315 engine in my 56 dodge. I am considering installing an electric fuel pum p and blanking off the hole in the timing chain cover. | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 566 Location: Wichita, Kansas | Sweet, I will get a hold of Egge today. My pump looks great and works, but this weekend it was beginning to fail and cut out at highway speeds. The fuel lines are clean and clear, the tank is full, but the pump is the original and must not like being used regularly after sitting idle since the late 70s. Thanks again, Matt | ||

Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | For everyone else: the easiest way to check on your car's fuel pump health is merely to get it up to about 30-40, and then to floor the loud pedal, and keep it there for a while---this can be a fun exercise. A weak or failing pump will cause the engine to stumble or to surge, due to intermittent fuel supply. No stumbling/faltering: yer gud 2 GO..."but, officer, I was just checking my car's fuel pump operation!" | ||
