Here's something to not do.

[t.flatt]

I thought I'd see if this fitting was threaded into the pump so I could replace it with one for 3/8 fuel line. Nope, just ruins the pump! It was a good move, though! I have the hemi pump on the way! I'm straying from my goal of making the engine look as factory correct as possible. Making it better...

Twist it the other direction and it will pop back out.

Twist it the other direction and it will pop back out.

And possibly crack.

Are they supposed to screw out?

I'm calling it junk.

Good idea. I was trying to be funny. I have to get better at using the little smiley face thingies. (like that).

Doesn't look like it but since that one is junk now so cut it apart and see.

I think you'll find that it's swaged over on the inside.

Ouch! I'll gladly destroy a few fuel pumps compared to that!

Ha ha! I gotta learn somehow... I'll call it a happy accident since this one will get replaced by Hemi one. I'm building a 512 stroker 6 barrel so it's gonna need some fuel! I just hope the hard fuel lines won't be to far out of whack with a different pump.

 

[t.flatt]

For those of you wondering what the inside looks like, here it is! Probably would have worked just fine crinkled up. It looks like a press in fit with a few tack welds on the outside. Not a thread in sight!

Yeah the pump is far cheaper than the HP manifold to replace too
either of them sucks thou, both of you guys, it sad it happens...
Muphy's Law, what can break, will...
And going with a better part is always my option
when replacing stuff, unless it's an OE resto, which I won't do anymore,
it's just not worth it...

Day 2 baby...
