1936 Plymouth P2

Hi Folks.

The fuel pump in my '36 blew out --- a victim of unleaded alcohol-containing fuel I guess. Anyhow, the old pump came out in 10 minutes. However, I struggled for 2 hours and couldn't even get a bolt started on the new pump, then gave up for the day. I turned the engine by hand off "high-cam" and still no luck. Anybody have any suggestions about changing an old flathead fuel pump in tight quarters. Also, I obtained a heat shield, but cannot figure out how it goes no matter how I position it.

:confused:

What I do is angle the pump so that you can start one bolt with ease, then rotate the pump to the spot for the second bolt, works like a charm, been using that proceedure since the 60's when i was line mechanic and all fuel pumps were on the engine block
