The rod is just bent enough to get lodged 1 1/2" up. The lower end is smack in the middle of the "pump hole" so I can see it easily. It doesn't touch the cam even if cranked over. It's a BBC so there is no plate to remove on the side for easy access. Even needle nose vice grips can't get in the hole. In desperation I even tried a tire iron with a LOT of force. It won't budge. I gave up and bought a Holley blue pump. Problem there too. The instructions say you MUST mount the pump below the tank because it works off gravity, not suction. Well, that's impossible because the tank is the lowest thing on the car ('72 Nova). I am NOT willing to put a fuel cell in the trunk because I have wasted enough time and money on this problem and I'm just trying to sell the car. Without taking the front of the engine apart, how do I get the rod out?
First of all I don`t believe it i`ve been a mechanic for 30 years and never have seen or heard of a bent fuel pump rod on a GM or anything else because they are solid steel...
But if this is the case as you say take the front and top of the engine apart and drive it back threw and fix it right dont try converting it over to anything else other than what it was made for if you do you are only asking for even more trouble and a good chance of a fire somehow...
Good luck but I still don`t believe it and a 454 in a 72 nova W.T.F. scary unless it is a drag strip car...
