Pinto auxillary shaft
chrisg - 22/8/02 at 09:00 PM

Hello chaps,

as you may have seen elsewhere my new engine is coming out of an EFI engined granada, which has an electric fuel pump.

I have a manual fuel pump and the pushrod, but the thought occurs......

Will the auxillary shaft have the cam on it that drives the fuel pump or will I have to swap the shaft from my other engine?

Any ideas??

Cheers

Chris

an alternative is to use an SU electric fuel pump as found on old minis and morris minors, etc. that would be way easier than a cam swap.

should have the cam,be a bit silly to make 2 different shafts,one way to find out.

Yeah John, I suppose. Didn't want to put the thing in the car, only to have to take it out again!

Cheers

Check the length of the pushrod 'cos I swapped one on mine for an identical looking one from the scrapyard and it had a longer pushrod so it broke first time round. I checked the next one carefully. Don't waste another £2.

yours, Pete.
