Re: [T3] '66 fuel pump questions


Factory data says the push rod extends from 8mm (lowest) to 13mm (highest) from
the face of the intermediate flange, having earlier described the stroke as 4mm
(hmm!).

The gauge VW 97/2 holds the pump rocker 13mm inwards from the pump base.

I guess with the gasket in place, the maximum height of the pushrod would only
be about 12.5mm (0.5" - so your US info is OK, Russ!) above the base of the
pump.

It also states VW6 (Type 3) pump delivery at 3,800 rpm is a minimum of 400
cc/min at 5 psi max (or 3.5 mWS - what pressure units are those?).  The data for
VW7 pump (Type 1) is 3.5 psi and 400cc/min at 3,400 rpm and VW3 pump (Type 2) at
3,800 rpm is also 3.5 psi at 400 cc/min.

Oh, and the instructions for removing a Type 4 (carbed) fuel pump start "1)
Remove engine...", so thank your lucky stars that VW didn't have that aberration
earlier in its history!   Mind you, I've not yet had to remove my Type 3 ones
either, just ones in upright engines.
