I'm trying to help out a friend and I'm not a big block guy- can somebody tell me what the length of the fuel pump pushrod is on a 440. Is there only one style?
Thanks,
Rick

Ok, we have the right length of pushrod. Is the pushrod for a "b" engine different? What my friend thinks he has is a mid 70's truck/motorhome based 440 block(maybe it's a "b" block- I have'nt looked myself)- do they use a different fuel pump(arm length) than a early 70's engine?
We don't seem to be getting much pump stroke- maybe it's a cam problem but it's supposedly new.

I think the stroke is only like 1/4 or 3/8 of an inch. Its been a while since I looked at my cam. One thing to note, is that thre were a bad batch of Mopar Perfomance fuel pump push rods that would prematurely wear the ends off.

Ok... well the stroke is about 3/8" of a inch so everthing seems in check- he's just going to have to try again.
Thanks guys!
