[DeTomaso] Re Replacing fuel pump

[Joseph F. Byrd, Jr.]

I thought that is a good question.   Googling didn't find an answer, but did find a photo that shows it could be referanced with respect to crank angle.

Very good advice Mike, I agree. Can you now explain how to find that sweet spot?

Thanks,

 Remember to rotate the engine so the eccentric is putting the least amount of pressure on the fuel pump arm. If you do it right, the pump just sort of snicks into place. If you do it wrong it takes a lot of brute strength and profanity. 

Mike (who changed a fuel pump in the paddock at the track in Las Vegas, and didn’t realize this simple trick, and as a result was forced to rely on brute strength he doesn't have, and therefore had to double down on the profanity!)
