No, absolutely not. We will use the BLUE gaskets that come in the kit and spray them lightly with silicone spray lubricant. Cleaning off the old gaskets is imperative. I like to use wooden toothpicks to clean off the old gasket material. Cleaning the needle/seat nut is usually the most time consuming. Never use anything that can scratch the metal. |

After I change the fuel pump, i was gonna drive the car and see about the pressure (secondaries to remain blocked). If it's a steady 6 PSI, then I was gonna tackle the carb, if not, check and probably impugn the gauge in the dash. Right?
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.

great shot! but me thinks it will be hard to see in there with the front chain cover off, so, if I'm at TDC, i'll be OK, right? s

Just point the lever arm down when you're putting her on. I can't think of a single time anyone in the local Cobra club has actually managed to get the lever on the top of the eccentric, making it not pump, but I think it is possible. So if you do get it bolted on and it doesn't work, that's why. |
