First of all, have already had the pan out about 6 months ago when I changed out the crank and rod bearings. Easy to drop but I'm not looking forward to breaking the great seal that is on there now.

Second, if I have a two piece eccentric and there is supposed to be a little movement, that concerns me ever so slightly that maybe it was the pump that went bad. Part of me just wants to install the new pump that I ordered from Jeg's, prime the carb and see what happens. Worst case is zero fuel pressure and then I know what's wrong. Would hate to tear into this FORD only to find out that the eccentric is fine. Such a weird arrangement to drive the pump...I was schooled on Chevys and the pushrod that is actuated off the cam...big, thick steel solid pushrods never break.
