Fuel Pump interchangeability

["Phil Patterson" <hilljack7@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Also, to add to what else has been stated before, sometimes you need to rotate the motor some by hand to be sure you have the rod for the pump off of the high spot on the cam.

John, on some motors you have to remove the 3/8 allen screw plug below the opening and push the rod up with a stick so you can get the fuel pump arm under it.  Don't forget to put the plug back in.

Its good to know that they all should fit. I removed the old pump from my 60 today, but cannot seem to get the new one into place. It seems as though the push rod needs to lift a bit higher, but its up as high as it will go & the pump doesn't want to seat. The shape of the pump arm appears identical to the old one so don't know why I having so much trouble. I just changed the one on my 69 a couple of months ago. Other then the alternator being in the way, it went together without any problem.

The fuel pump for the 361-383-400-413-440 is physically interchangeable.
The mounting pad is the same, the pushrod is the same, the pump itself can
interchange.  The inlet and outlet positions on the pump itself may be
different, and the " style " of the pump may be different between an older
pump that is rebuildable and has the bolted together pump housings versus
the newer crimped housings that arent rebuildable.

Just a fwiw, obviously a later crimped pump wouldnt be " correct" for a
concours situation, but if it means the difference between driving and
towing, its good to know.
