This was such a big help thank you! I have a 1961 Chevy and I am a novice on mechanics. I am slowly learning, but there are not many videos out there.
Happy it helped
Exactly what I was looking for - an important but reasonably easy job perfectly explained.
Happy you found the video useful
@@ron12april I own 2 classics with the '70 /'75 derivatives of the Chevrolet 4.1 ' stovebolt 6' . These were exceptionally robust motors and really popular, firmly cementing the 'legend' of Chevrolet in the fabric of the South African farming community and the nation as a whole. In the latter years AMC added the 4.1 Chevrolet drivetrain to their highly succesful and innovately styled Rambler Hornet sedan and sportabout range. One can hardly believe that the market here in the early '50's accomodated healthy competition between the Hudson and GM /Chevrolet with Chevrolet ultimately tipping the scales. Interesting history.
Thanks for the bit of history!
I didnt see you put on the gasket....The bolt issue and your info on them terrific.
I have never worked on a car before, and know I find myself fixing up a 1966 Chevy C10.
I just subscribed., G
I did not show putting on the gasket, but I did mention putting it on right after talking about putting silicone on the pump side only. Thanks for subscribing.
I've got a 65 inline 6 and the fuel pump is bad I have a sbc fuel pump setting on the shelf and you answered my question thanks
Happy you found the video useful
@@ron12april yessir and hit the sub button
for stainless hardlines use a torch and heat the end up then flare it. i also recommend the eastwood double flare tool. it has ben a life saver for us.
Thanks for the info
The only thing I would change is the glass fuel filter . 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 starter !
Thanks for your comment. Lots and lots of discussion regarding whether glass in line fuel filters are safe or not. My take away so far is that glass itself doesn't usually break but the threads and cap holding O ring failing tends to be an issue. My install seems to be secure, vibration is minimized by the long fuel line with multiple turns and rubber connectors, and unlike injection systems, this mechanical fuel pump only puts out about 5 psi. Nonetheless I am considering switching to a metal in line filter.
May be a long shot but do you have any idea what size that outlet fitting is? Is it a 1/4 FIP to a 1/8 MIP reducer? I was able to find one but cant get the double flared line to seal for nothing. So I didnt know if it was a special fitting or not. Thanks!
The double flare fitting fits into an "inverted flare" fitting. Should be available at local auto supply or amazon.
Walter Koellner, just took out the old fuel pump on 1964 Chevy C10 straight six. I don’t see a pushrod. Is pump actuated directly by camshaft ?
Yes. No push rod
I was hoping to find this question was asked. Thank you for that. Thank you to both of you.
Got a prob o my diagphram..... Need help... In fact I need to get back the original diagphram using electric at the moment bu is nw not having more speed n power.. Any help to source it...
I about fell over.. they made something better ..
Any channel to source a diagphram fr 6 cylinder straight 6
Not sure about source for rebuild parts, but complete fuel pumps are readily available from usual sources like rockauto.com
regarding the lever when inserted, there is nothing to push down? Just insert the pump and bolt down> with the other you have to hold down a lever in the block and then get under it with the pump lever?
ok I saw your post below, no push rod just insert and bolt it down is that right?
With the old straight six there is no push rod for the fuel pump. The lever rests directly on cam. I think even the early v8 engines did use a push rod between the cam and pump
@@ron12april Thanks Ron!
I have an old fuel pump like the one you have. When I shut off the truck, I saw fuel in the fuel filter. I went back a couple of days later and no longer seen the fuel in the filter. Is it possible that fuel trickled down to the pump and ended in the crankcase of the engine? The motor oil smell like gas.
Since the motor oil smells like gas, that is a pretty good guess. It would indicate a torn diaphragm. That being the case I would think you might notice other symptoms like loss of power. The fuel could also flow back into the gas tank if the fuel pump valves leak some. But, that would not result in motor oil smelling like gas.
Super helpful vid. Do you have a part number by chance for the old one? I'm trying to see if I can put an old gm one on my 1f engine from my fj40.
Rock Auto lists the following part numbers for either the 230 or 250 cu in L6 (same block)

1966 on stamped steel with anti-smog

Delphi MF0051
@@ron12april thank you so much for the quick reply and help! Have a good one!
I see you have the inline filter between the fuel pump and the carb, my Dad had if from the tank to the fuel pump, any comments? I have the L6 on a 63 Cii. Not quite the same power, but same concepts it seems.
Also, replaced the fuel pump, the line from pump to carb and still struggling to get fuel to carb. Steves nova site has too much spam for me to inquire there. Thanks.
The fuel pump I used and cited in the video has a replaceable filter on the inlet built in. (Between fuel tank and pump). The set up I describe only uses electric fuel pump to fill float bowl for initial start. Not sure why you are having trouble with normal flow but addition of this electric fuel pump will not change things. Check out the fuel line from tank to pump. It should be free draining. If it is you might have a bad mechanical fuel pump. Even a brand new pump can be bad. (Ask me how I know)!
I am about to attempt this and wonder if there is a fuel pump rod like the 350 motors?
No. Fuel pump arm rides directly on cam
Thanks Ron I had the same question!
What kind of engine is that?
From the engine codes this is a 250 cu in from a 1968 chevy. The truck is a 1965 C10
How do you know your rocker arm is on the cam correctly?
No push rod. Only goes on one way
Can’t get mine installed the rocker arm won’t let it in
@@skylergoins9052 same how did you resolve it?
