Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine and fuel system configuration before installation, especially on 1966 Chevrolet Caprice early design and 1966 Chevrolet Impala early design or 4BBL applications. Confirm the mounting surface is clean and inspect fuel lines for wear, corrosion, or contamination before installing the new pump. Because no gasket is required, follow the vehicle service procedure for the correct sealing method and torque sequence.
