Well, last night the fuel pump died a mile from home. My dad told me not to mess with it - take it in. But if I do, chances are the kid working on it wasn't even thought of when my 70 was built...so will he know what to do either?
Question seems to be, how to keep the pushrod from falling. Is there a trick? on SB Chevy you can slide a hacksaw blade in there to catch it. I did some Googling on the 383 though and it indicates there is a plug that is at the end of the pushrod bore that allows it to drop out of the car? This true? The you grease it before sticking it back in. Sounds like it easier to just suck it up and remove the alternator too?
Advice would be appreciated! Thanks.
