How to install a Manual fuel pump

First you need to make sure that the fuel pump is not functioning correctly, and if thats the case then you need to replace it. If you have a amc 258 Inline-6 then you probably have a manual fuel pump that you can pick up at your local auto shop.

1. Find the correct fuel pump.
2. You need to clean the area around the old fuel pump so no dirt or grime will enter the engine.
3. If your fuel line is cracked then buy some replacement fuel line, or your new pump might not work properly.
4. Next remove the old fuel pump, then toss that sucker out.
5. before you install the new pump you should probably put some grease on the lever.
6. align the gasket and pump on to the engine, and tighten the screws with the same torque.

7. If your engine does not start then the gas is probably not reaching the engine. I had the same problem and used a simple foot pump for an air matress and sucked the gas through the line.
