Happy Thanksgiving to All
We've got a problem where our 66 U14 stopped running, right after starting up from being parked for a few hours, the last time that we had it out on the road. She started, ran for a few seconds, I tapped the gas, and she stopped, never to run since.
I worked with a friend to start troubleshooting down the line. We can get the truck to start pretty immediately by pouring a bit of gas into the carborator, but it won't stay running. We did some tracking backwards and found that the line from the fuel pump to the carb is dry. I was able to get gas from the gas tank to the fuel pump by pressurizing the tank a bit, so we know can get to the pump, but we're not getting anything out the other side to the carb. We figure that the mechanical pump has failed.
I searched for a replacement fuel pump, but that proved to be more difficutl than expected. This is what I settled on https://www.autozone.com/external-e...48824_0_0?searchText=B1207MP&redirectUrl=true. I'm aware that it states 67 -68 for compatibility, but it does appear visually to be identical to what we had installed. I do have the vacuum windshield wipers, so I want to continue using a pump that has the vacuum line hookups.
Anybody have any ideas or information that I should know, such as incompatibility of the part for 66? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Michael
