Yesterday for lunch I managed to sneak out to the garage for a little bit. I was able to pull the fuel pump off the pump stand.
Fuel pump on the pump stand
It was a little hard getting it off the stand. Once I got the bolts undone, the arm still had pressure on it, holding the cap on the push rod, but with a little bit of twisting it came free. The arm is showing quite a bit of rust an the pump housing is loose, that isn’t a good sign.
Fuel pump removed…
On the good news side, I have a Ford Service Manual and a Fuel System manual coming. The oil and gear oil got here yesterday afternoon. Gotta love the internet, you can find anything, and I’m still amazed at how reasonable the parts are for this so far.
