Excellent video. Lots of videos just show the fuel pump install without an actual remove and replace of the old fuel pump. This helped immensely. Thanks🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Worked on the 283 and 327 engines for 60 years never knew about the little bolt. Learn something everyday thanks and that's what life is about. THANKS AGAIN!

Worked on a lot of cars in my years but never realized what that bolt on a SB was for. Good job and much appreciated. Always something new to learn from others.

Just bought a 1969 that's been sitting for 20yrs. Love these videos, hope to have mine running soon

Perfect video. Side note, if you have a 1978 C3 there is a service bulletin that makes mention of the fuel tank bladder coming apart and clogging the fuel inlet screen. A quick way to verify that is to remove the rubber fuel line that feeds the pump. If fuel comes out you can go ahead and change out your pump. I just replaced the fuel pump only to find I had no fuel coming from the fuel tank. I took off the fuel tank cap and used an air line to blow short bursts of air in the line. It took about 10 busts to unclog the fuel line. Just wanted to pass on our experience. Thank you for the video, it helped alot.

Now do you the same thing with a factory AC car, smart guy!

Excellent video. Lots of videos just show the fuel pump install without an actual remove and replace of the old fuel pump. This helped immensely. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks to your video, my buddy and I were able to diagnose, replace the pump, test, and drive my '77 that had been sitting for 9 years because I wasn't confident enough to attempt anything bigger than a brake job or an oil change. Thanks very much!

Thanks for this video. I was able to replace my leaky fuel pump. The side bolt on my 77 Camaro 350 was used to hold down a bracket for the smog pump. A little extra work to remove but it still worked to hold down the pump rod.

Best fuel pump install video I've seen - and I've looked at many!!!! VERY CLEAR AND SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS AND VIDEO!!! Many thanks!!!!!!

Thanks for the video. I have a 69 with AC. And there is a bit more involved before I can even get to the fuel pump.

Wow! You make it look easy. I’m planing to replace it too from a 81 vette ! It has A/C… hope it’s same process. Thanks a lot.

Another awesome video! You always explain things so very clearly. The best channel for C3 help!!

This guy really breaks everything down step by step good video thanks.

Thank you for the videos, I'm starting on a 75, that hasn't run in 17 years. From Westcoast of Canada

so helpful. watched 6 videos and this was the best and easiest!

Good explanation of how to install the pump. I’ve got this job up next on my list. Thanks for sharing. Keep the videos coming.

Great explanation!! I never knew. Thanks!

Great video! I appreciated the close up view

You showed me exactly what I needed to see. Thanks!

Thanks for all the videos soo far on the C3! It really helps when doing these jobs! Keep up the good work!

Thank you soo much. it helped me out tremendously, I was afraid to try it out on my 77 Malibu but you helped!

Great and clear communication and instructions 🙂

didn't know about that bolt to hold the rod in place Thanks, knowledge is power!

Nicely done

Thank u sir for the video

Great work as usual!

this video helped me out so much! thank you very much for everything! :)

Thank you so much. I tried this out and your video helped.

Amazing video thank you

Awesome!!!

Good video, didn't know about the bolt that holds up the rod, fixing to change the fuel pump on a 1972 chevy truck!

Awesome. Thank you.

Out of ALLLL the videos they wasn’t them informative thanks man

Perfect video👍👍👍

WoW!! Very useful video for me Thank you!!! I have this issue and rust problem :P I check your videos :D

Found it ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼 dude you make some great videos

Nicely done!

Excellent detailed videos. Hope you saved the old fuel pump - looks like an OEM 70-72 LT1 pump - very expensive. Rebuilt ones are $300.

great video the way you narrated it anyone can understand it, I'm looking because I just bought a 78 and I found a pair of vice grips on a line I thought was a brake line because the pedal goes to the floor turned out to be a return line as I get gas on the ground in the back when I removed the vice grips. not sure if I can get to it without removing the tanks, But thanks for clarification!

Good video

good job

You are awesome bro. Great short video. My 10 year old brother should be able to do this. Thanks. Am moving onto the headlights next. My vacuum system could be checked. My speedometer doesn't light up either. My rev are also stuck on 4000 rpms. Do you have a video about the speedometer? Thanks in adav6

I changed my fuel pump in my 1969 Corvette with a 350 last year (maybe two). I did not know about the bolt switch trick. I bought a tub of wheel bearing grease and packed it in there to keep the rod from falling out. It worked, but I like your method better. At least I have extra grease now for when I replace my heater core. I'll be sure to grease the bolts before putting them back in, like you explained in that video. Now, I'm going to watch the removing the dash video. However, before I do the heater core, I have to either replace, or flush out my fuel tank. It's got crap from the inside lining of the tank floating around in there. It's getting into the carburetor and stalling the engine. 😒

Nice, but the shaft runs off a lobe on the camshaft not the crankshaft

Can you do the same pump-pushrod-securing-trick with the 454 cubic inch displacement engine?

Nice ours is leaking oil. Going to do this next.

I tried this and on my sbc 350, the threads didn't go all the way to the end of the bolt hole - but the hole does. I used grease to fill the hole and hold the rod in place.

Hey i have a fuel see through filter n its empty when i crank it my car is a 1979 camaro z28 n it doesnt start it cranks only i hope its this the fuel pump… do i need to empty out the gas tank to do this job?🙏

Thanks for the helpful video! I'm new to engines and trying to educate myself. Just so I understand properly, why does the distributer need to be disconnected to do this?

Can a bad fuel pump make a knocking/tapping noise?

TURN THE BOX WRENCH AROUND FOR BETTER LEVERAGE

Screw or nut. Come on it’s a BOLT.😂

Hello, I have a 350 engine with the similar pump on a 68 Chevelle. I drive it sometimes with no problems. Twice it has "konked" out on me. It starts to sputter like it's not getting gas. While doing so I checked the gas line "new" filter and gas was not filling the filter. I guess that's why the sputter. I let the car sit for about 20-30 minutes to cool off. It started up and drove it home like nothing happened. Any suggestions. Thanks. Great video by the way. Didn't know about the side bolt to hold that small rod.

What brand? No sealer on the side bolt ?

Replaced mine, now getting way too much fuel and not sure why? Pissing out the top of my quadrajet. Flooding out he motor. Will not stay running.

Can a bad fuel pump cause fuel to get into the oil on these? I’ve heard this is something to start with when working on my 77 el camino 350 SBC.

Which line you used to test the fuel pump the one whit the clamp or the one you have to screwed

Can you use a different kind of fuel pump on a old small block Chevy 350

quick question, i have a problem where fuel gets drained back from the fuel filter pretty quickly, any solutions??

I got this motor in a box chevy.. Can anyone tell me why tha fuel pump keeps going ou?? This is tha second one I have had to buy this year

use Teflon tape not worth risking gas leak

Where is the videos of my pink now purple car??

That fuel out should be a double flair steel line. Between the pump and the carburetor the gas is under pressure. Using a rubber hose is not recommended there, too dangerous.

I hope your temp guage stops working so we get a repair video lol. My 77 temp guage doesn't work.

I thought the cam ran the fuel pump.

It's not oval shaped, it's eccentric

Next time remove your hand blocking the view of the distributor, thanks.

I had bad gas on mine. I pulled the tank, cleaned it, replaced it while doing do I blew the fuel lines out to clean all that bad gas out. Now I've been trying to Che k my fuel pump like this for a while day (new fuel pump 4 weeks old). How many times am I gonna have to turn this damn thing over before the pump lines fill again?
