How To Install a Fuel Pump on a Small Block Ford 302 | Holley Mechanical Fuel Pump

SEE ALL BUILD PICS:

Installing the mechanical fuel pump on a small block ford is a very easy and straight forward process. Begin with a clean surface on the timing cover. Make sure you have quality hardware and the gasket is clean. Depress the fuel pump activation arm slightly to clear the eccentric and install the bolts. Hand tighten them and do not over tighten the bolts. You will install the NPT fittings later in the build.

This is a “Dry” install.
Recommend applying a coat of assembly lube / grease on the areas of the arm where it contacts the eccentric.
Also a thin coat of Ultra Black on both sides of the gasket.
Finally, some anti seize on the bolt threads which engage an aluminum timing cover.

Can't you rotate the engine so the eccentric is at its furthest from the arm? Then it ought to slide in without any force?

Easy to install with the motor on a stand, more difficult with the engine in the car, especially mating the fuel pump lever with the eccentric, correctly.

[wyrtwister]

Yes, I would put grease or at least, some oil on the end of the lever that contacts the ecentric .

God bless

Thanks a lot. I have many many more coming up. Next vids are pushrod length, roller rockers, valve train etc.

thanx for all these vids man I have a 66 galaxie 5oo that exploded well not really but the motor was trash and was inspired to pick up a 5.0 ho from a 94 mustang I found on craigslist for $350 with about 100k miles after checking out the site and watching these videos so much more grateful to have a roller as apose to the old style block and I was on a serious budget so this all really helped a lot thanx again my friend if I could I'd buy you a beer! 

cheers

The chrome stands out against the red engine. Great tips keep the videos coming.

[CplChronic]

Some sealer would be good on that gasket and throw some lube on that lever before you put it in.

Great vids. The biggest pain is lifting and getting bolts used an extra long bolt on one side to help lift it. Got the other bolt in then took long one out and put permanent bolt in. (Limited space tip)

I followed everything perfectly. The problem that I’m having is, I can get fuel pumped from the gas tank. But I can’t get fuel from the pump to the carburetor. Can someone help me please.

, thanks iam. Just. Trying to learn how iWork on my 302 out of a ford
Torino now in. MY 1959 ford truck

Nothing worse than getting the pump, opening up the box and seeing you'll need to buy the two fittings for fuel entry and exit. The part number for those are Edelman 821560.

And to make it interesting, let's have a guess at what the hp will be before it gets dyno'ed. Great series.

I have a Holley fuel pump on my 302 mustang engine. Sucks, leaks from the gaskets. Put a new one one, did same thing.

[johnmiller-inbt]

Crank needed turned ! So the fuel pump.would drop in

[vegasjack]

Thanks for the video. You may want to move your camera a little less. It jumps around too much making it hard to follow. Just slow movements with camera/phone camera.

[mongomay]

Same thing, how come parts that engage each other are not lubed for start-up and gasket and thread sealants on certain bolts?

[silasbullard]

Is this a better pump than original, rhetorical I know, but I'm having a problem with my 302 stalling when it gets hot, (Holley carb). Put a better fan and bigger radiator to no avail.???

Thank you for this useful video, great communication

Which line was for the tank inlet looking at the pump. Right side or left side
