Any tricks to remove

[Jj1981]

Trying to get  filter glass off fuel pump without pulling pump. also I'm going to run an online filter do I have to have a filter in the bowl this is on my b2b thanks

Your's may be different than mine but the glass bowl on mine has a thumb knob under the glass, loosening it allows the bowl to drop enough to be removed. The upper part is made to my fuel pump. It is a sediment bowl and not a filter, the intent was to capture larger pieces of sediment from the tank to settle into it rather than entering the pump. This is the pump I used ...

Simply loosen the thumb screw and swing the clip to one side and the bowl can be removed.

Hey Don.

What part does that heat shield fasten to, is it one of the lower manifold bolts?

 

[Jj1981]

I tried to loosen it but it's only been sitting for 38 yrs I'll keep trying thanks

John, mine attaches to the front lower manifold stud/bolt.

I have seen some of those glass bowls which screw on... so might pay to twist the glass bowl anti-clockwise after you loosen the thumbscrew on the metal retaining piece. The thumbscrew fitting will usually undo with a small wrench or screw driver.

Okay I'll try that thanks

I'm thinking of cleaning out the sediment bowl and changing out the lines I know the pump works it was spitting out fuel when I unhooked it from the carb and ran the engine on a small gravity fed tank should I try the pump or replace it

Attaches as pictured below but I did not install it when I installed the engine.

That's a hoot! The heat shield for the fuel pump is attached to one of  the hottest parts of the engine....an exhaust manifold bolt....lol.

Thanks for the picture I was trying to figure out how the heat shield fits lol......also is the the original engine color? The engine on my 52 is white. 

[Reg Evans]

The original engine color is silver.

I had to remove my whole pump to remove Plankton.You should not have to.

[Jj1981]

I had to get under the truck and get some vice grips to loosen it up thanks

[Jj1981]

I’m wanting to get a fuel line  that goes From pump to carb what size are the fittings

I tap the glass ver lightly with a light mallet to jar the glass bowl free from the gasket to which it is firmly attached, easier to jar loose than to twist.
