Hi Guys; I've been fussing with my '68 GT500 lately and got a question. The other day I had the Shelby idling, I felt the fuel pump from above the power steering pump and it was noticable knocking within. What's regarded as normal internal movement in relation to the cam eccentric? I understand the need to move in order to pump the fuel but could it be excessive to the point of noticable if felt? The engine is a 428SCJ with about 10,000 miles. I did not build the engine, just maintained the beast. Are they rebuildable with a obtainable kit or know somebody who specializes? Any thoughts??? Thanks; Tool
There shouldn't be any really noticable noise from the pump. They are fairly easy to rebuild and most vendors carry the kits.
