I remember that being covered on the list a while back but can't find anything on it.

All you need to do is remove the early pump and the base that it sits on and replace it with a late spacer and fuel pump. You will need to modify the fuel lines if yours are still as original (fat chance!)

Hi Ashley,

If you are inclined to keep the old pump, Ed Fall will rebuild it for you. He also rebuilds 356 and 911 distributors. Speaking from first hand experience, he does very nice work, including parts replating.

(Barry Brisco posting on behalf of Alan Klingen, his post ended up in the wrong topic because the subject line was inadvertently changed)

To change from the early pump to the later one you will need of course the pump and the fiber spacer block which is about 6 mm thick. You will not need any paper gaskets only the right o'ring around the base of the pump. Remove all the parts of the early pump, the pump, pump aluminum stand and the fiber block.
