thank you very much

Thanks UB, I’m a long time Chevy fan, but never knew about the SBC fuel pump rod-holding trick. Nice info to file in the “next time” bin. Keep up the good work and videos. I know most of your material, but I’m proof that an old dog can learn new tricks!

Glad to help THANKS FOR WATCHING AND HAVE A GREAT DAY

My ‘79 Camaro told me to tell you “THANK YOU” for this video/lesson 🧠 the screw holding the push-rod out of the way was crucial for making this super easy!! 🙏😊

Works Great! Thanks for watching. have a great weekend

Thanks for the secret bolt to hold the pump rod. Usually that rod hands my ass to me, this isn't the 1st fuel pump replacement. I hope I have that bolt on my 57 Chevy 283.

NICE, YOU ARE WELCOME. THANKS FOR WATCHING

[@robertbatemon7655]

Thank you.That is the most detailed one.I've seen it took all the guess out of it

[@unclebucksgarage7695]

Glad i could help

Good vid. I changed the fuel pump on my 350SB last night & for some reason that bolt to retain the rod wouldn't hold it up so I used a strip of packaging box to hold the rod up while I slipped the fuel pump into place.

What size bolt did you use to replace the stubby to hold the rod up?

[@unclebucksgarage7695]

3/8 BY 2 INCH LONG. THANKS FOR WATCHING AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[@jeffmarcum3643]

Thanks for the video! I'm about to do this on a 1965 Olds 330 cu in. Do you think it's necessary to take the rod out to clean/lube/grease? Or leave it in and put grease or oil on it? just curious - thanks

[@grantslater2485]

Leave it in, it gets oiled by the motor

[@jeffmarcum3643]

@@grantslater2485 Thanks

[@unclebucksgarage7695]

YES, LEAVE IT IN. the engines oiling system does lubricate the rod very well. Have a great weekend

[@B-RADTHEGOLDDAD]

Can you tell me what threads of the longer silver bolt you used?

[@TheSilverSphincter69]

what would be the cause of multiple fuel pumps breaking and needing replaced????

[@unclebucksgarage7695]

WHERE ARE THEY BREAKING AT OR ARE THEY JUST QUITING

@@unclebucksgarage7695 i just bought a 78 chevy g20 with a 350 in it. it has a new gas tank, sending unit, gas lines, fuel filter, and fuel pump. i was told after this one broke that it was the second one to break. when we pulled this one off a small little piece of metal fell out of it where the arm is.

THEN CHANGE THE BRAND OF PUMP. THE ONE YOU ARE GETTING IS A FAULTY DESIGN. THANKS FOR WATCHING

[@CamboCustomzVisualWorkz]

So my 76 gmc will squirt a little bit of gas when I turn the keys. An no sign of It staying on. Will that be a fuel pump problem? Or does it suppose to come out alot from the fuel line whenever you start and gas it a little? Please help me put. UNCLE BUCK??

[@unclebucksgarage7695]

YES, it is a fuel pump problem, it should be a strong steady feed

[@dadavelasquez4709]

⁠ I have a fuel filter that drop the gas and then fills up all the way. Is the fuel filter supposed to be filled up all the way at all times if so, is it a fuel pump issues. My car also stalls at times when I’m at a stoplight

[@tmmyjay]

Good video. Why does your old one have a spring under the arm and the new one doesn't? I have the opposite, new one has spring and old one doesn't.

[@unclebucksgarage7695]

depends on which company made them
