Application Details

Compatible With 1984-1987 Ford Tempo and 1984-1987 Mercury Topaz, this push rod is used in the fuel pump drive system to transfer motion from the engine to the mechanical fuel pump. The Spectra SP2717PR helps restore proper pump actuation when the original rod is worn, damaged, or no longer maintaining correct travel. This part number, SP2717PR, is a practical choice for Tempo and Topaz fuel system service where OE-style fitment is required.

What It Is Used For

• Fuel pump not receiving consistent mechanical actuation
• Excessive wear in the pump drive interface
• Fuel delivery problems caused by a damaged push rod
• Noisy or irregular fuel pump operation
• Restoring proper mechanical linkage in the fuel system

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine configuration and push rod length before installation. Inspect the fuel pump, cam-driven contact surfaces, and related components for wear before reassembly. Confirm correct alignment and lubrication during installation to reduce premature wear. Use the vehicle service manual for torque and assembly procedures.
