Timing cover provision??

[asecretfile]

My timing cover has a provision for a mechanical fuel pump but it looks like for the arm going in to my eccentric theres a little punchout. There any way to get this out without having to pull the timing cover off?

hope I can, taking it off will be a PITA lol

Why would you want a mechanical pump?

switching to carb...got a new daily beater and I want to carb the 87GT

I might go with electric fuel pump

Mine has that too (88 GT) and i just had the timing cover off wasnt that hard at all great time to clean up everything tho. good luck with the project.

With the right return regulator you can keep the stock pump. They even sell adapters to go from the factory fuel lines to AN fittings.

I kept reading where even with a regulator the fuel pressure is almost impossible to get right

one like this?

Aeromotive Billet A-1000 Carbureted Bypass Regulator for EFI to Carbs.

Meticulously machined and impeccably finished, this Aeromotive regulator allows you to convert from EFI to carburetion. Designed to work with the A-1000 fuel pump, it delivers seamless volume, adjustable from 5 to 15 psi. Requires larger return line from bottom of regulator to top of tank.

Features:
-Adjustable from 5 to 15 psi.
-Two -6 AN outlet ports & 1/8" NPT gauge port.
-One -10 AN inlet port and one -8AN return port.
-Red and black anodized coatings.

Its saying for use with an A-1000 fuel pump though

Of course they say it's designed to work with thier pump. This is so you'll buy thier pump. The key is the A1000 pump puts out up to 45PSI so that regulator will handle the high inlet pressure it may see.
