Replacement fuel pump question

Posted by Jim Kavanagh On 2018/8/17 22:21:49
I bought a rebuilt fuel pump for my '52, but it is an unusual design. It has a sort of stirrup that the cam lobe sits in and it travels back and forth on the pump arm as the cam rotates. I understand what it is doing, but it just looks like trouble waiting to happen if anything gets bound up. Maybe this is a replacement pump, but I don't think I like it.

I also note that the mounting plate is significantly thinner that the normal pump, making me question whether this is the correct pump. If I use it, I will need to get new bolts as the originals will bottom out.

Have you guys used this kind of pump before? Some pictures follow.
