And...when you change the fuel pump, I assume that, like a 'Vette, the engine needs to be a TDC for #1. Right? thanx steve
OK, we can skip plumbing in a new gauge... unless the new fuel pump starts pumping at 9psi too. And you don't have to go to TDC at #1, just make sure the fuel pump arm is on the camshaft eccentric. Clean the old gasket off, and use a little oil resistant gasket goo on there.
