Here’s a photo of pump end

New rod. There is a factory groove on pump end. Wondering what it is for?

Installing new fuel pump and rod on my 8BA. I realize the grooved end of the push rod goes up to the pump but the question I have is what is the groove for?!

Thanks to all of you for the help and support!!! Amazing as always!!!

Exactly! Got to check it out to settle the mind!

Ok here’s the update. Decided to take the bolt back out for peace of mind because I had no idea what torque was put on with impact. Removed radiator to be able to get at it again with impact. A few raps and it came off no problem. No damage to bolt threads or anything. But a dap of blue loktite...

Well I put torque wrench up to 70 ft pounds and clicked immediately. I know it is tight enough put my concern is that it’s over torqued and if that’s harmfull. I decided to try and take it off to reinstall and locktite at a torque but can not budge it with breaker bar! Car in park and wheels...

Thank you for the reply! I do of course have a good torque wrench but not sure of best way to stop motor from turning over as attempt to torque. Familiar with loctite types, and could use blue… should I be attempting to check torque as it sits after impacting it on or take bolt out, loctite and...

No didn’t strip it (I assume I would know if I did) haha Was concerned it might do damage to crankshaft or something rappin on it. But it’s a simple setup I guess not a harmonic balancer or has a bushing or anything I could damage… but as an after thought and as an over thinker I was like **** I...

That was my thought but I have no idea how much torque I may have put on it. 1/2 battery powered impact and gave it a few good raps

I’m wondering if anyone can put my mind at ease (or into turmoil)… I removed my crankshaft pulley, painted and reinstalled. My concern is if I did anything damaging. I removed the retaining bolt easily with an electric impact. Then a little rubber hammer tap and elbow grease and the pulley came...

"So I am putting the mechanical pump on at rear, oil fill breather at front stock location, and have road draft tube in stock location. all is well yes? just need the missing internal tube." Late intake being used 1950 ford flat head with 49-51 Offenhauser intake. If you block both holes at...

Are these internal tubes difficult to remove? Does anyone have experience with this?

Yes so... if only an electric fuel pump was used (no mechanical) the pump stand at the rear should have a oil fill/breather or the oil fill/breather could also be at the original front location with the delete plate where pump goes. Correct? So I am putting the mechanical pump on at rear, oil...

100% it’s an electric fuel pump, but that does not eliminate the problem of incorrect breathing.
