Thanks for help gratefully recieved in the past.

I have a new question: The pipe that carries oil to the oil filter
is connected to the the front most hole on the engine block. Is this
a requirement or can I change the position to the second port from
the front? This is because I feel the oil pipe will lay better fromt
that port as it is not in the way of the fuel pump.

The fuel pump is hard enough as it is to remove (the front most bolt
is difficult to access)without impeding access further with a pipe.

BTW the pipes I have are not original but made up at a local
hydraulic shop.

Many Thanks

Martin hello:

I got a bolt that was about 2 to 3 inches longer
than the original bolt. Next, I placed a nut on
the bolt at about one inch from the threaded end.

I then brazed or welded, I can't remember exactly,
this nut onto the longer bolt.

Although the need to remove the fuel pump is quite
rare... it is so easy to get the fuel pump off in any situation,
once the bolts are an extended length.

I had a friend from Dubbo (Aust) visiting NY
We drove a jeep for about 40 miles when suddenly, the
jeep was coughing and sputtering to a dead stop.

I had only a scant few tools with me but luckily I had used
the longer bolts and therefore was easily able to remove
the pump and discover the problem.
(one of the round flapper discs had worn away to the point
there was no fuel pressure)

That's a great idea as just two days ago it took me 2 hours or so and
a skinned up knuckle just to install that very bolt!
