Got a new pump today from Jim Carter and installed it. Back on the road. Rocker arm pivot pin on old pump had worked its way out one side, putting it in a bind or something. Lucky to live in Kansas City: Jim Carter, Classic Parts, and LMC all close by. Towed it home with a Toyota though. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 | NAPA or any other flaps can supply a fuel pump for your 235 | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,988 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,988 | Don , I read he already got a new one at JC and explains about what was wrong with old one. There is no question here. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | I think the point Don was making Bart, was that if someone is on
the road broke down with a fuel pump failure, you could also
readily acquire one at a NAPA store or your FLAPS.

It had slid partly out and allowed oil to drip out the hole on the other side. Besides tools, a fuel pump is one of the spare parts I keep in the truck.
