Default Re: Fuel pump

37cab, If by chance the cam lobe is worn, a simple and rather lasting repair is to place a small piece of leather (stamp it out of an old belt) in the cup of the pump.

I might suggest you send your pump to CharlieNY (here on the Barn) for a proper build. There's a lot more to doing it properly than throwing a kit in it.

Other things to check for are vacuum leaks in the fuel line(s). Check the flex hose to be certain it is not sucking air.
Also, this electric pump you have... is it a pass through type? A simple test would be to bypass the electric pump for a test drive.

If memory serves me well, the lift on the lobe is .256".
The rod should be 7.866" +0 / -.006".
