Camshaft difference

[Doug&Deb]

For anyone who remembers my post about my fuel pump problem I just found out why it occurred. A quick background. I have a 58 truck engine in my 52 Coronet. I got the engine out of a 51 Coronet so it had the correct ancillary components to work correctly. The only thing missing was the fuel pump. I installed the AC588 I’ve always used and had problems for about a year. The solution was a different pump and the reason is that the camshaft is a different part number. I just wanted to inform others to save them from the aggravation I went through.

Doug: Glad you figured out the issue. So what fuel pump number solved the issue?

 

Hey are you planning to be coming to Hershey this fall, if you do please stop by our vendor spot at OAD 7&8. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Rich, I don’t have the number handy but I think it’s 4895. I sourced it from Vintage Power Wagons using the listing for a 58 D100 truck which is what my engine originally came from. I’m not sure about Hershey yet but we’ll definitely stop by if we go.
