[DeTomaso] FW: Re Replacing fuel pump

[Larry-Ohio Time Corp]

Bud no one calls me Mike but this is how I do it.

Loosen the old pump but do not remove it. If it wiggles around somewhat
freely you have the spot. If not turn the crank by hand till it dose.

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!)
