[FC] fuel pump plug

[Dave Sanger]

Bill,

Yes, you must cut out the old rod assembly (it is permanently attached to 
the gasket);  that will leave a hole -- OK. No need to modify the plug at 
all. The old pump, however, is no longer usable because the rod/gasket 
assembly has been modified.

Ordered mine from Wes Jewitt; he advertised in the Communique. It works 
great and looks like factory original.
