UPDATE: I got the new pump installed and checked the lines. Car is running good now again. Took it for a cruise last night round town. :)

https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Ford-Y-Block-V8-Fuel-Pump,41731.html and yes my wipers are not vaccuum so im good there. they didn't list the psi, so I called them and they said 4.5-5. which is def better than the one ive been using.

I got a new pump that will be here today with the long lever, and 4.5 psi designed for 55-59 y block V8s. Looks just like the FE one that was on there before but with lower pressure. I’ll check the lines and tank and get it installed in a few days. Thanks everyone for the help. A lot of this...

So after identifying the actual engine I have I ordered the recommended fuel pump from summit with the correct psi range etc. and it came in last night and the lever is short. Should this engine have a fuel pump pushrod between the eccentric cam and the pump lever, or should I just try throw...

I’m trying to avoid the pump that is on it by figuring out exactly what I’m working with and just get the right pump.

Carb is not stock either. It’s a motorcraft 6-327A Do I have a hodgepodge of stuff under the hood? Also dual exhaust with side pipes. Car is lowered. It was running beautifully until just recently

So I did a little more research. The engine code is an ebv. This indicates 239 y block from a 55 truck. which did use the 2v carb. Not the 256 like I thought he said. I think he did performance mods to make it more like a 256, but not sure what they could be. If my research is correct it’s...

Ok serial code on the door frame is *P4DG1 starting out. Where could I find a code on the engine itself? I did just take the pump and the air cleaner off and looks like I may have a metal piece broken on the throttle linkage on the carb. Unless it’s just a stopper of sorts. What all do you...

Yes fordomatic. This car ran great the past year and now it’s time for me to actually learn how to keep it on the road :)

Yes. Be happy to take photos. I just got home from work and going to go work on it. Wipers are disconnected and I planned to hookup a 12 volt moter kit from shoebox. Not sure if they are vacuum or not but def wasn’t connected to the fuel pump. I love this car and it deserves to be back on...

It is a 4 door sedan customline with a p code VIN There is also a p code on the engine? This would help me figured out if it was a swap. He said it was rebuilt with a few performance mods and 55-f100 parts. From my understanding it was the original police package. Fuel filter I changed is...

I bought a 54 ford customline with a 256 y block. i was told by the previous owner it had some 55 f-100 parts on the engine rebuild. i don't fully know what all was modded and would like to better understand it, and i have very basic mechanical skills (using this car to learn on). This car has...
