DR JAY Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Sorry for what may be a stupid question. I've been searching for a proper image of the mechanical fuel pump for a 534 SD engine on gasoline, something found in the AMT C Series kit. I'm running the kit air compressor and am ASSUMING that there should be a mechanical fuel pump on the left side of the timing cover behind it. All of the Holley carbs I have seen on this engine have a bowl feed on the left. I have yet to find a picture that shows either a pump or even a hole in the cover where it would bolt on. I realize that it would be hidden by the compressor, but I have yet to see an actual fuel pump on the 534 SD engine. Sooooo...where's the fuel pump SUPPOSED to be located? Did I just spend a bunch of time searching for a mechanical pump when the truck actually used an electric unit paired with tank switching valves? I add ridiculous detail, so this is kind of important to completing the engine for me. Thanks for looking...(Despite spending my career as a Tech on cars and light trucks, I'm embarassed to be asking a question like this...but I'm sure there will be more!)

Hopefully this info will be of help. I've outlined in green what seems to be the answer to your question: You can reference this online by the address at the bottom of the page.

Badluck 13 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Sorry I didn't see this sooner and to agree with what Dennis posted....the Ford parts book show '62- up C Model (gas) did indeed have electric pump at the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR JAY Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 That's what I thought! I found more pictures of solenoid switching valves on top of what appeared to be cartridge style filter housings. There was a component that I thought was a governor at the back of the engine, but looked for any fuel system connections regardless. Thanks for posting this...it may sound like over analyzing, but I too went through countless web forums and tech articles in search of this answer because it got to a point where I no HAD to know the answer! Thanks a bunch for the info. I hope it helps others as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
