<x-charset windows-1252>Yes, the push rod for the mechanical fuel pump rides on top of the ramped ring on the distributor driveshaft just above the gear teeth. As the drvieshaft spins the ramped ring makes the push rod go up and down....pumping the fuel pump. Doesn't surprise me that Jim may not remember this...seeing as the FI T3s only have a block-off plate here that does not need to be removed. <G> Yes, taking the fuel pump off and the pushrod and its bakelite housing lets one easily reindex the distributor driveshaft. I tried with the pump on.....took it off to see if I could see what was holding up the driveshaft....and only then did it dawn on me that the pump and pushrod were the problem. <G> Later, John Jaranson '71 FI Auto Fasty (Jane) '66 Square (Sophy) About Half a Late Square (Organ Donor) http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jaransonT3/jaransonT3/ (This is the new address for my website) ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/ </x-charset>
