Consider yourself lucky! When the pivot pin in my fuel pump fell out, the
pump's lever
was dragged into a 'pinch position' between the camshaft and the block....
The cam broke, which I suppose was the more favorable outcome...
Consider an electric pump. It allows you to fill up the fuel bowls prior to
cranking,
which is a marvelous way to preserve your battery/starter/ring gear, etc. I
mounted mine
on the outside surface of the spare tire well, just above the rear axle.
You can add
an inertial/'upside down' electrical cutout if there is a chance you might
be a
member of the 'Inverted Driving Team.'
Good luck

Listers,
I think I may have a major problem on my hand. I removed the old fuel pump
off the engine block of the TR3 tonight. This must have been the problem as
to why the car would not start, for as I was removing the pump slowly so
that I coul dsee how to put on the new one, the lever that extends out into
the engine block fell off and in through the opening of the engine block. I
cannot feel the level while putting my fingers inside.
Where did the part most likely go?
How do I get the dang thing out?
I am afraid to put the new pump on and run the engine with this piece of
metal running around in there.
HELP!!
