Gig, Good to hear you found the trouble!
As a related thing, last year in my 63 stepside, the fuel pump suddenly failed. It was bought from
one of the classic truck part supply catalogs, don’t remember which one.it wasn’t very old at all.
Well, I opened it up expecting to see failed diaphragm, but instead one of the two check valves had
fallen right out of the hole it apparently was pressed into. Won’t pump that way, of course.
This has made me very uneasy about buying and depending on after market parts, which seem to vary in price a lot.
Well, I did a makeshift replacing of the valve in its hole, put it back together and it works, but.....
So I have an electric pump installed parallel to it ready to switch to, and while the truck is parked for the winter I’m
trying to decide what pump to order and how to know if a part is good quality or not before ordering.
Perhaps I’m missing an already existing discussion here on the forum.
But, again, I hope you’re troubles are over, and she starts and runs good!
