Reply To: 1702 Fuel Pump Not Working

[Gregory Long]

Hi Steve, this engine is sitting on it’s bell housing, so the cam and crankshaft if installed are standing vertically.

In the second photo, there is a diagonal brace from the main bearing to the side of the engine case, just ahead or above the brightly lit diagonal brace is a shadow that is the opening for the pump arm in the block.

I might have a better photo to post, but I will dig up a pump and poke the arm through the hole in the crankcase, so it will be easier to see the orientation.

What I would do on your car, is to remove that plug in the case just about 5″ above the pump mount pad. Then you can put a finger through the hole and feel the pump arm and the pin or lifter it should be riding on.
