NeilR Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 The fuel pump on my '64 TR4 failed recently so I obtained a replacement from Rimmer Bros. Found that the fuel outlet port on the replacement pump was on the side facing the block. The original pump outlet was facing away from the block. See photo attached. The new replacement pump has an arrow showing the outlet but this has incorrectly been fitted with an alloy bung whereas the screwed port is facing the block. I believe the outlet port and feed pipe to the carbs should face away from the block. Anyone else found this problem? Have taken up with Rimmers who are investigating with manufacturer.

RogerH Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hi Neil, as per Stuarts post the pump outlet face the block Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rcreweread Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Neil - as both Stuart and Roger have pointed out, the outlet facing the engine is correct. Hopefully your repro pump will work well, reliably and be leak free although their reputation in this respect isn't brilliant. If you need to change it in the future, I have a small stock of genuine AC Delco pumps, refurbished by Dave Davies, so the very best quality. Just PM me if of interest Cheers Rich PS Sorry about the upside down photos - this often happens when I upload them but don't know how to re-orientate them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NeilR Posted October 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Thanks all for the info. Seems like my original AC pump was installed differently! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
