pull the fuel pump push rod and measure it, make sure it is the correct length,and check the ends for wear, also the hose leading to it,would be a good thing to replace at this time,make sure you the fitting are good and tight, you do not want air leaking in causing hard starting when the car sits for long periods, I would also test the new pump before you install it, try working by hand and see if you get vacunnm in the inlet port, hope this helps, 37RAGTOPMAN an KEEP on FORDIN,,,,

We prefer to remove the fuel pump and its stand as a unit, then install the new pump, being sure the cup on the arm is facing downward so the pump rod can be properly engaged when the stand is lowered into place. Be sure you have the correct placement of the lines at the inlet and outlet of the pump, and tighten securely, but don't overtighten, as the pump body is soft metal. If the ferrules and nut are not damaged, no sealer is necessary. If they are, replace them. Any sealer, such as Teflon tape, usually causes trouble. The pump rod rarely is worn enough to warrant replacement.
