for Ford 289 302
When the mechanical fuel pump leaks oil from a silicone gasket, the cause can often be traced back to improperly tightened pump mounting bolts. The fuel pump bolt torque specification is usually around 25 to 35 foot-pounds. Regardless of the model of the fuel pump, the best way to ensure the bolt is tightened properly is to use a torque wrench. To make sure the bolt stays in place, apply a small amount of thread-locking compound before reassembly
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Should the pump fail to operate:
Check the fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay as outlined in the car service manual.
If the pump has power and proper polarity, check the remainder of the fuel system as outlined in the car service manual.
NOTE: This pump will not remedy malfunctions of the regulator, injectors or other fuel system components.
