Default Re: fuel pump stand swap

I have been looking for the same information for a future build and from reading posts here and on the H.A.M.B., this is the info I have burgled.

You can use the 59A fuel pump and early stand on the 8BA if you use the appropriate early rod. If you measure the length from the stand mounting area on the intake to the top of the block it will be either just over 1” which should take the short rod or just over 2” which should use the long rod. Also, the early rod is smaller in diameter than the 8BA rod so you will need to address the fuel pump push rod bushing in the block. Supposedly the early bushing will fit inside the 8BA bushing. Align the oil holes.

All that said, I have not yet attempted to put this together myself so use caution and double check measurements if you try it. Others please join in and correct me if I made any errors.
