Something doesn't look right
I pulled this out of my 59A with aftermarket pump stand. It measures 9" and what a clatter it made.
What would the correct length rod be? This one has been drilled out to accept the end piece and it's bent and dented. Here is the setup which complicates the solution. I have an old Edelbrock Hi-rise 2X2 manifold with an aftermarket stand. The manifold was ground down for fuel pump clearance. Since the length of the old modified rod was 9 inches would an 8.87" rod be the solution? Last edited by 36 ford; 04-04-2016 at 05:13 PM. |

Re: Something doesn't look right
It depends on your intake manifold, assuming that the aftermarket pump stand mounts pump correctly.
There are two lengths for '35-48 Fords listed in the catalogs; if height of manifold at the very back from block surface to the manifold surface where the stand bolts is in the general neighborhood of an inch, you need the short one. If it is around two inches, you need the long one. I think what you have is a desperate improvisation of a long one made from a short one! 7.87 for short, 8.87 for long. |
