Oil filter return line leaking at fuel pump bolt on 36

[Joe Shell]

Thanks Terry, great info.
The replacement f/p stand a friend gave me yesterday does have an offset in the back with a part number of 48 9416. It looks identical to one on the car now with the stripped thread.

Still don't understand how the oil coming out of the end of the hollow bolt gets into the pocket for the fuel pump lever in order to drain down. When I take the old one off later

Still don't understand how the oil coming out of the end of the hollow bolt gets into the pocket for the fuel pump lever in order to drain down. When I take the old one off later I may find the answere. Perhaps A hole was drilled from inside the f/p lever pocket into the end of the female threads to allow the oil to get out.

Hope to sole this today.

Thanks again,

Joe

Are you using the bolt that attaches the pump to the stand, or the bolt that attaches the stand to the manifold? The hollow bolt is used to attach the stand to the manifold which allows the oil to go directly to the valley. Ken
