Technical SBC Fuel pump mount question

SoI have a SBC 290 hp crate from Summit. The mount on the block for the fuel pump has four threaded holes instead of the two on the Edelbrock pump I got. I’ve never worked on a SBC before, just SBF’s. What am I missing ? I don’t see anything for the pump lever to ride on, obviously I’m confused.
Appreciate the help guys thanks

 

There is a plate that goes on before the pump. You should be able to see a pic online somewhere.

 

And a push rod!. Go to wrecking yard and get the plate, rod and bolts.

 

Thanks, what activates the lever for the pump?
I don’t see a cam lobe like a Ford

 

There's a fuel pump rod that goes in the hole.

 

OK, that makes sense, you guys answered my question before I asked it !
Thanks

 

Go on line and read up on the install. There is a bolt hole on the front of the engine that you remove and replce with a longer bolt which will "pin" the actuator rod in place while you install the pump. Make sure you remove it and reinstall the short bolt when you are done.

 

Thanks Billy

 

Make sure when putting the longer bolt in to hold the rod inplace to only put it finger tight

Thanks, appreciate the info but it may be a mute point as the Edelbrock pump is too big, it’s up against the inside of the frame ! Brookville 32 pinched for Model A. Wondering if the stock one is smaller

 

Never worked on a small block Chevy, sheesh, now I've heard everything!
Just fun'n with ya, but depending on the amount of pinch, the chassis may require a fuel pump with a housing that is "clockable".
Is it the pump body that is up against the frame or just a fitting?

 

Buy a manual with pictures. Not being an ass, it will explain it all.

 

OK, so the housing itself is in contact with the inside of the frame, I’m surprised Brookville designed it like that. Anyway, it ain’t gonna happen with the Edelbrock pump. Is a stock one smaller ?
And you’re right, I should have read the manual first, since I never worked on a SBC
God help me

 

I'll bet you could answer questions about SBF that the Chevy guys would ask.
Just sticking up for you.

 

Send me a PM with the outside diameter of the Edelbrock pump body and I'll compare it to another brand of SBC fuel pump that I sell. I sold a number of them to circle track street stock racers. It's probably smaller in terms of GPH and pressure than your Edelbrock (7011?), but should keep up fine with most street use SBC engines.

 

Thanks, will do.

 

I usually put a big glob of white lithium grease on the end of the rod that goes towards the cam. it tends to keep it in place while installing the pump.

 

A R P do a lightened hollow pushrod with hardened ends I fitted one for the heck of it

 

ARP 134-8701 - ARP Fuel Pump Pushrods .FITTED ONE OF THESE LIGHTWEIGHT JOBBIES.hollow tube with hardened ends .i estimate about half the weight

 

Thanks ! If I can use a manual pump

 

I found this online.

Thanks, that stock one is definitely smaller than the Edelbrock.

 

Manual's are for stock stuff, but will give you an idea...... Hot Rod's are a lil different.

 

There is also a threaded hole in the front of the block that intersects the pushrod. Screw a bolt in finger tight to hold the rod until you get the rest of the assembly in place, then remove the bolt. The white grease is an excellent idea to.

 

Thanks, then a shorter bolt goes back in ? I ought to buy an old abc and scavenge all these misc parts

 

On my 290hp SBC neither front motor mount bolt hole goes through to the fuel pump cavity.
I slipped a hack saw blade between the pump lever and the rod. Get the pump bolts started then slipped the blade out before tightening. Helps to glue gasket to pump first.

Thanks

 

Yes, with a dab of sealer on the threads.

 

It's funny you say that cause I got a 65 283 block and neither of the threaded holes go through to this cavity. Come to think of it there was actually only a lower hole there in the front of the block and I had to drill the upper hole to attach an old Hurst cradle style mount to it.
