Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 100 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 100 | I have determined the fuel pump in my 49 is bad. Well it is a later model engine, I think a 235 but anyway I was told it is the same fuel pump. Are there any tricks to this replacement. I have done several Chevy 350s and such and the only trick to them is a longer bolt to hold the push rod out of the way temporarily. Anything unexpected to the inline six??
Thanks

I mention this before and nobody else said that they encountered the problem. Also, if you have the fuel tank in the cab, you must shut it off because as soon as you crack the inlet nut, the tank will start to empty on you. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 435 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 435 | Especially what Truckernix said. | | |
