Some
of the original fuel pumps from the 60s had a much
thinner mounting flange. (about half the thickness of
the pictured pump) They were prone to cracking around
the mounting holes. If your car still has the thin
flange type pump, you may need to replace the studs in
the block with some longer ones. The 1500 engines and
the 1600 engines below R40000 have SAE threads, in
this case 5/16 coarse. Later 1600 engines use 8mm x
1.25 thread studs. You can also use bolts, although
studs are a better way to go.
The
64-67.5 and some of the early 68 pumps were designed
to take a metal output line; and the input and output
direction was the reverse of the later pumps. Later
cars used rubber fuel line on both the input and
output fittings. They made the switch at 1600 engine
number R-59199 and 2000 engine number U20-02692.
Approximate VINs at change were SPL311-17400 and
SRL311-02200. After 40-45 years though, either one
could be on your car...
Pump
includes 2 gaskets, order a new spacer block if your
old one has any problems. ALL pumps need to have the
original spacer installed. Sometimes the spacer can be
hidden in grime and look to be just an extension of
the mounting area on the boss so I would suggest
cleaning up the area so you know you are just
installing one spacer.
NOTE:
The fitting that your metal line screws on to vary. We
can usually provide the "correct" one for your car but
if it does not match what you have you can swap your
old one on to the new pump.
