I am trying to replace the fuel pump in my 74 TR6 with a new pump made by
Moprod, apparently a UK company. It is a model FP32. It appears to be a
replacement, although the actuation arm is a little shorter. It did contact
the cam, offered resistance, and fit OK. The problem is the outlet fitting.
The inlet tubing is 5/16" and the outlet tubing is 1/4", stock. The outlet
on the pump seems to be for 5/16", like the inlet. The stock tubing and
ferrel did not get tight. There was still play side-to-side and in-and-out.
I thought maybe it was machined for the larger ferrel, so I tried the inlet
fitting. The brass fittings have the same exterior dimensions, only the ID
is different. The 5/16" fitting fits the outlet of the fuel pump. Having
figured this out, I am wondering how to change the piping to accomodate
this. I really would prefer not to create another joint in the line, near
the engine, but I can not think of way to avoid it. I suppose I could use
5/16" for the whole line around the front of the head. Does anyone know if
there are 5/16" ferrels to fit 1/4" tubing?
Thanks.
Jay
