Flathead Fuel Pump
I finally got a new fuel pump rod for the V8 flathead in my 1950 F-1 pickup. I have a brand new Airtex 578-9350 fuel pump to go with it. I tried to install it and low-n-behold, the pump stand sits about a quarter inch off of the intake. I'm confused.
Comparing the old rod to the new rod, the old one is a tad shorter that appears to me can be accounted for by wear. I can't visually see much difference between the old and new fuel pump. I'm going to attempt to take more accurate measurements, but for now just know it sits too high!
Any thoughts on this?
