Can anyone tell me how to install a fuel pump rod bushing in a '40 ford flathead? I bought what I thought was the correct one but it does not look the same as the one in it. This message was edited by vacaville john on 4-20-10 @ 2:45 PM

When I had my block re-bored, the mechanic installed it for me. That didn't help much did it. Richard

The easiest way to install a fuel pump push-rod bushing is to remove the camshaft and drive the old one out from the to and the new one in from the top. The driver is a rod with a machined shoulder that fits the bushing and the casting. You probably do not have to replace the bushing, unless you are rebuilding an engine. They seldom wear out enough to cause a problem between rebuilds. Tom

The bushing can be removed with a tool called a "slide hammer". Otherwise, as said, it is driven out from below. It is a good idea to install a new bushing during a rebuild, but not worth the effort otherwise, unless you have a low oil pressure problem.
