Thanks to all you who took the time to respond to my mechanical/electric fuel pump question. My truck was stock (farm truck) the last time I drove it (about 40 years ago) and it vapor locked going up hills on a hot day. I was young then, now I'm not so would like to avoid the problem. I had the engine rebuilt a long time ago and saw on the receipt that they rebuilder reground the cam. I'm not so sure he reground the fuel pump cam. Does anyone know what the correct lift is, measured at the top of the rod for proper fuel pump operation? Again, thanks for your information. Rance
