I replaced the fuel pump on a 72 chebby pick up first of the week, I forgot how much fun they were to replace and all the tricks that can make it go EZ. After I replaced it the carb immediately flooded I thought it was a carb issue as I had moved it out of the shop last week at closing time because it was leaking fuel and the engine seamed to flood EZ...
I got on it the first of the week to replace the engine mounts and found the fuel pump leaking so replaced the pump. I just knew it was a carb issue so took it off and could not find a thing wrong with the carb, the needle and seat passed a pressure test with flying colors :shock: About the only thing I could see was the last guy are gal was not much of a man and just snugged up the needle seat and all the screws. The owner said he had never experienced a flooding issue but had smelt the fuel and it had stopped running like it ran out of fuel...
I put the carb back on and it started pushing fuel out the top of the carb :evil: I put a fuel pump pressure tester on it and it pegged the gauge out at 15 PSI PLUS :shock: It has to be the pump so order up another Airtex pump and the same thing happened :shock: :shock: I put the pressure gauge on it again and all seamed well till like flipping a switch the pressure shot up to 15 plus PSI and fuel started pouring out the top of the carb...
I made a call to Airtex and the tech said it must have had the wrong spring installed in the pump. I called up another parts store and got a different brand pump and all is well... Thanks China for a screwing me out of a days work :!:

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
