>> Hey, Guys!  You should be able to use the later '61-69 style pump; however, you must also use the later push rod.  You should be able to pull the rod (with the spring on top) with a pair of needle nose pliers.  It is a snug fit.  A "cam" on the crankshaft makes it move up and down.  It should slide out with a little pressure. When you have the '60 push rod out, you should be able to see the difference in the length when comparing it to the later push rod.  I hope this is clear and helps!  Good luck!  Greg

And the pushrod and rubber piece around it. How do I just use the pushrod? And install in the new pump Ron have me? He was helping me today after work. We stuck
