<VV> Cave car question

[Bob Tarpenning]

I have ground the shaft on the early pumps till they are the length of the
late style and it worked fine.

Hi Ken,
Can this fuel pump be used on a later model Corvair just by changing the
fuel pump rod (to the '60-'61 style)? Hopefully someone will answer this
question for me. Thanks.

Corvair.  I do not have a Corvair that use this item.  It's the one with the
7/16" end and is still in the box with instuctions that it is for the cars
listed above.  Any interest let me know and make an offer.

are there any  other pitfalls  or problems with this swap? Thanks in
