\nI bought a new Fuel pump for the old ‘bird, to try to get it back on the road. I spent a good part of Saturday morning taking the old one out and running to the parts store. The new pump I bought at NAPA and was only listed as for the 1958. Mine’s a 1960, but the T’bird parts places lists one pump for all, so I thought I’d be OK.
\nThe image at the right is of the two pumps side by side (Cick the image for a larger version). As you might be able to tell, the inlet and outlet are different between the two. On the old one, the inlet is the one on the left (with the fitting in it) and the outlet is on the right. On the new one, the ports aren’t labeled like the old one’s are and they are in different places. There is a port at roughly the same place as the outlet on the old one, but the other is to the right not the left and is on the other side of the lower gasket you can see in the picture (the pumps are upsidedown). Both ports are on the same side of that gasket in the old one.
\nWhat I’m wondering is which one is which? Should I take this back to NAPA and get one from somewhere else?
