Re: Recommend fuel pump

Re: what waterpump is this

A bit unexpected but they don't santblast it, they just spray some silver rattlecan paint over the unprepped surface inside and out. Well that won't last long ill guess. I c...

Re: How do I stop tappet noise?

Re: what waterpump is this

If you want to run the pump faster why not just have a smaller diameter pulley machined up for the P6 one you have? From memory the standard P6 pulley is about 8 or 9 inches diameter - that pump flange has plenty of scope to accommodate a smaller pulley. Cause there's a GT40 bulkhead in the way whi...

Re: what waterpump is this

Its 3.25" from flange to engine mount. Figured its shorter as Buick 340 (that should be 4").

Its Leyland brand and it uses a Ford pulley.
