<VV> Re: HELP - Fuel pump change ++!!

[Gary]

Be careful here!!!!
You have an early style distributer, are you sure you do not have a complete
early style moptor in the car? 60-61!
If that is the case, you have to also use the early style fuel pump as the
piston is a different length than the 62 and later pump.
Before continuing determine what year the motor is.
