That is nutty! The 60 had that noisy electric pump on the fender and it ran well with that. I guess every modification has a story.... that 60 had a lot of stuff that told me the PO wasn't a mechanic, but did whatever he could to just keep the thing going. I never had the oil pan off of that engine, but figured it ran well so it must be fine...Who eats fuel pumps? This guy does.

Had a minor heart attack when I saw big chunks of metal in the oil pan. It was magnetic, and turned out to match perfectly the OEM fuel pump arm. It was a good running engine, so I think it didn't mess much up.

This is a fiber spacer for the fuel pump. Wondering if it is necessary to mount the OEM unit I have coming?
BTW, the final count on fuel pump gaskets was 6, plus half a gallon of sealant. I have NEVER seen that many stacked gaskets in an installation.
