Didn't get a whole lot done on the Panama today. Spent a good portion of my day off helping to recover a Jeep that had become hopelessly stuck in the mountains. And spent the remainder of the day with my family.
Had an hour or so tonight, so opened up the rebuilt fuel pump I received from Kanter. Wow, looks so nice compared to mine that came off. Right off the bat I noticed that it is definitely different than what came off the car. Both are Carter's, though they are different models. I asked the guys at Kanter if they needed my model number, and they said it didn't matter. But I want to confirm that this replacement one will work.
The In/Out ports on the fuel pump are opposite of what came off my car. The cam arm is a different style (longer) on the replacement, but it looks like the cam rider has the same placement/travel from the mounting face of the pump. Also, the cam rider itself is a not as deep. Thoughts?
I also pulled the fuel bowl and filter since it darkened significantly from the oil. I'm not totally sure how to clean the ceramic element....some guys say lacquer thinner, some say acetone, one said vinegar. I have it soaking in acetone overnight, since that's what I had on hand.
