Fuel Pump

TRBenj wrote: Ken have you confirmed that the replacement GM pump can be clocked? That seems to be the implication, just confirming. Like you mentioned, the outlet (hard line) is really the only concerning piece... the orientation of the inlet (soft hose) should be relatively inconsequential.

Yes, it can be clocked

You take out the 6 screws and rotate the valve section and lower housing together and screw it back together.

You can go 60 degrees at a time, some old ones had 12 holes in the fuel pump body, so you could go 30 degrees at a time but the newer foreign made ones like this only have 6 holes.

So in this case he could only have the outlet at the 7 o'clock or 5 o'clock position but not the original pumps 6 o'clock position.

There is USCG approved rubber fuel line (assuming that the advert is true...)

So ..........back to our regularly scheduled programming, for hdfooter you can order the pump and like has been mentioned by more than one person the inlet won't line up but it's an easy fix with a little hose if you don't have a long enough piece already.

Then on the outlet you can leave it as is or clock things, either way it won't line up like the original..

And then it's your choice of how you adapt the pump outlet to the carburetor.

You maybe can bend your existing line enough, make a new metal line or use USCG approved rubber hose and fittings. It makes no difference to me

You also might shop around a little and you might find a Carter M60502 for around 65 bucks or so

KENO - Boom, $58. Thanks for the shop around advise!
