mechanical fuel pump in the way !

[SeanG]

just working on the distributor and when i fitted the new fuel pump (http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-213577)

 

it s kinda in the way... don't think fuel line for carbs will fit, so just thought, can i open it, rotate and refit ?

construction looks like circular, so wouldn t make no difference right ?

thx

yes the body is fully rotatable...but   make sure you dont unhook the diaphragm from the cam lever,  just turn the top section

if it parts its easy to re hook the pull rod to the cam lever by compressing the diaphragm spring and push /turn the diaphragm.
