Default Re: correct fuel pump rod

That depends on the block. The early 8BA blocks did not have a bushing and used a slightly larger diameter fuel push rod. I believe that rod has a "skirt" surrounding it that contacts the block when the rod is at the lowest position. So check for the bushing in the block before you buy a rod. If you can't find anything PM me I think I have a couple.
