: Tim K had a question on converting a Big Block
: Mopar fuel Pump for use on the SL6. Below is
: a pic of a pump I converted a while back.
: This Carter fuel pump has big passages and 2
: inlet valves. (stock units have a single
: valve)
:
: One thing I did was rotate the inlet body and
: added some hard line fittings so I would get
: better access to the ports.
:
: You need to swap the arm out of the stock
: Carter SL6 pump into the BB unit. I used a
: shim between the arm and the pump's plunger
: rod. This took-up some "free play"
: at the end of the pump's stroke which
: resulted in a lot of clearance between the
: cam eccentric and the arm's contact pad,
: when it was on the back-side of the
: eccentric. ( it will still work without
: doing this but you will get less total pump
: stroke)
:
: I also did some passage "deburring"
: (porting) while I had the pump apart and
: added a flair fitting to the vent hole if I
: ever need to apply boost pressure to the
: backside of the diaphram.
:
: This pump delivers 7 lbs of pressure at low /
: part throttle speeds and drops to 3-4 lbs at
: the end of a quarter mile full throttle
: blast.
