OK, I just haven't seen this answered.
I am putting an 81/2 5.0 motor in my 67 XR7.
I have the 50 oz. imbalance balancer. I have the right flywheel for the small C4 bellhousing. I have a higher than stock stall speed torque converter.
My question is:
Will a two piece eccentric power the mechanical fuel pump arm? I'm trying to dial in the tune on the motor, and it isn't getting any fuel. I don't know if the pump failed, or if the pump isn't getting actuated properly. Of course it runs rich when I poor fuel in the carb, but it isn't keeping itself primed.
I did not use the early timing cover, it is a carbureted motor. Other than the lack of fuel. it seems to be doing fine. I am planning on only using the engine for a 'short while', meaning the car isn't going to be put into regular service any time soon.
Thanks for the input,
