1973 Mustang 302 V-8 Fuel Pump Removal
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- In this video the fuel pump and fuel pump rubber fuel line were previously replaced, as well as the rubber fuel line at the fuel tank in a 1973 Mustang (302 2v engine). Due to a botched recording clip the actual fuel pump installation video is not present. But, there is other information in the video that may be of help to someone looking to perform this kind of repair...
This fuel pump replacement was performed as the fuel pump diaphragm had begun to leak. When this happens the leaking gasoline can end up in either or both of two places. It can go into the engine's crankcase, thus diluting the engine oil with gasoline and potentially causing a lot of engine damage. Or it will leak gasoline outside the housing of the fuel pump, which creates a fire hazard. Or, both situations can happen. In my case, the gasoline leak was external, none seemed to get into the engine crankcase. And I caught it early enough to help keep it from causing an unduly hazardous or dangerous situation.
My apologies for how long these operations took. I am partially disabled and performing this kind of work takes me much longer than it used to. But, I love working on these old Mustangs, so it is (for me) a labor of love, and I take my time - as much as necessary.
Thank you for your automotive wisdom and philosophical musings.
Very useful info that I wish I knew about several fuel pumps ago.

Russ, thank you for your kind thoughts. There are so many more videos like this I want to do, covering both general and obscure parts of these First Generation Mustangs. I pick away at them as time allows. It is always nice to see when others find them useful.
Great tip about best rotor position for pump replacement - changing one out this weekend & tip will definitely help!
I am glad you found the video helpful. I used to think the videos Lynda and I have been putting together may be to simplistic, or perhaps I was over=explaining why I do things the way I do. But when I have folks like you send me comments letting me know the information is helpful it tells me I am doing more good than harm. Thank you. I hope your fuel pump replacement project goes at least as easily as ours did. Keep the liquid gasoline away from your arm pits, eyes, and ears! Now you have been warned twice! heh heh...
@@gilberthale7777 it took a while to find the correct fuel pump, but I finally got it changed out. the tip with 2/6 rotor position really helped considering how tight the spot was on my 74 ford e100, 302. your video made everything really easy to understand and got me back on the road. thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and sharing your knowledge!!!
@@rudymartinez4195 I am sincerely glad the video helped you get through the fuel pump replacement on your van. I worked on a lot of those larger vans in the 70s and 80s. Even with the 302 engine things could get pretty tight. I do not envy you with that job you pulled off. I am glad it worked out for you. Thank you for the Kudos...
Thank you for a very informative video!
Does the 2 and 6 rotor position also apply to a 289 motor in a 65 mustang?
Very helpful info! Thanks for sharing. I am about to change out the mechanical fuel pump on my Factory Five Racing Cobra that has a '65 289. These pointers will be a big help!
I am glad you found the video helpful. Lynda and I enjoy putting out these little videos, as I find the info we put forth is either woefully lacking, or too often incorrect or incomplete. At that, after I post our videos I am always thing of ways I could have added more detail that might help in some unusual cases. I have re-done some videos for that reason, or added more vides going into the higher level of detail. There are so many things that can go wrong with automobiles in general, and even these older vehicles. There is no way to cover all bases, but we do what we can. Continual Improvement, a tag line I happen to subscribe to.
@@gilberthale7777 Thanks! Its the kind people like you that help make our passion for cars fun! Have a great and a wonderful driving / car show season ahead!
@@jaredaubin6577 Lynda and I have enjoyed making these little video presentations on subjects I either do not find are covered well, or not covered at all. To see others are finding them useful really does warm our souls. Thank you for taking the time to let us know this was useful to you.
Good stuff 👍
Thank you...
6:21 I'm positive my gasket is the issue with my pump, can I make one out of the carburetor meter block gaskets I got in my 6140-6150 carburetor kit?
Any gasket material in good condition and cut properly will work fine. Especially if you use a silicone based adhesive like I did. Using a good quality silicone gasket forming adhesive, like the Permatex brand silicone gasket former like what I show in my various videos, can technically be used with not gasket. But I prefer to have a gasket just because I like to have the expected amount of gap between unit with mating surfaces.
Nice Video, lots of useful tips others skip or simply don't know! Ive got a 351C that ran fine a year ago, now it runs but stalls as soon as you put it in gear, even if you floor is. Came across your video looking at the pump, never seen how the pump works and this vid show the eccentric you mention, i learned something so thank you ruclips.net/video/PS24UIJL3dk/видео.html
Thank you. I am sincerely pleased you found the video useful. Lynda and I truly enjoy doing these home-brew How-To videos, and I try to cover things not in other videos. Once in a while I will see a very nicely done video and choose to not replicate an effort that already does a nice job. Other time I see videos that are not as thorough as I feel they need to be, or contain incorrect information. I also like to put in little "tricks of the trade" when I feel the info could be of value to someone besides just me. No matter, we both like to work on these little projects. And getting comments from fellow enthusiasts, like yourself, are always appreciated.
this guy sounds like an old dieing Kermit the frog
I feel it is appropriate to explain why my voice sounds so gravely, or like an old Kermit the Frog who is about to give up the ghost. I do not make a thing of it on my videos as it would cut into useful video time and would serve no real benefit other than removing the element of curiosity or maybe even anxiety.
About 8 1/2 years ago I was found to have a brain tumor. I had no symptoms as we found it not only by accident but in its early development. It was in such a bad place that a biopsy was not possible as attempting one would have some a lot of damage in the process. I was told I would like be dead within the year based on where’s the tumor was located and the kind of rumor the physicians felt it not likely was.
After some digging around we found a neurosurgeon who willing to take a chance on me. We were told there would likely be some side effects due to the surgery. Seven surgeries and six months later I was finally able to come home to stay. And I had several of the side effects we were told we could expect to have. I am dizzy 24 x 7, and severely out of balance. And one of my vocal chords is paralyzed. Both conditions are permanent. The the paralyzed vocal chord not only impacted my voice, but also causes me to get into extreme coughing spasms once in a while.
But, I do not complain as having those side effects is better than being dead. Having made it past 5 years survival I am deemed to be cured of the brain cancer. Statistically something else will get me in the end.
So, I do the best I can with my limitations. I chose to continue to be involved in the land of the living as opposed to becoming a hermit just because because I am
now a little different than I used to be. And given my over 50 years of experience with first generation, and later, Mustangs and Shelbys (and other makes and models) I feel it was better to share what I know rather than just curl up and let the world pass me by. So, I am hopeful the way my voice now sounds is not offensive or bothersome to folks. I do the best I can.
