Hi,
I am just starting out on Mopar mechanics, and would like to replace the fuel pump on a '70 440 motor. I would appreciate if anyone can let me know if I'm overlooking anything here..
The removal/replacement of this looks fairly straightforward -- I just unhook the fuel lines and unbolt the pump off the motor. Then, for re-install, after cleaning the old gasket material from the mating surface on the block, put a new gasket with sealer and bolt the new one in and re-hook up fuel lines.
Is that it, or am I overlooking something? Are there any special settings to make when inserting the mechanical lever for the pump into the block?
Also, do you guys have any recommendations for a good stock replacement pump? Would a Carter or Holley pump be best? I would like to maintain stock psi, as I am not running any fuel regulators, etc.
Thanks very much for any help!
