I'm having a heck of a time here so I'll lay it all out
E0 block
Clay Smith cam
I initially ordered a fuel pump for a late 70's/early 80's 200(fairmont) and could not for the life of me get it to prime. Proved it pumps on the bench. So I stuck in a used pump that came on an old block, no known part number and it primed up just fine and allowed me to do a 25 min cam break in. Problem is it's old and on the way to get new exhaust work it gave up and puked.
So I got a new pump intended for a mid 60's 200(i think I went for a 67 stang. It will not prime. I proved it works on the bench.
I proved there is no blockage from the tank to under the hood and earned a nice petrol cocktail ;-)
Comparing all 3 of these pumps, while the may have different part numbers they appear to be the same thing. Same length actuator and location... slightly different casting but the same geometry.
I will say the dead one that worked has a metal "pad" riveted on the actuator that does lengthen it about 1/8" but the wear pattern suggests the other actuators should hit the spot just fine.
Any ideas? Who has a part number for me they swear by?
