fuel pump eccentric
Does anyone here know what the eccentric looks like, it evidently is located on the camshaft behind the pump. It runs the mechanical fuel pump on a 70s model 318 mechanical pump. I seen something like one that is round with a slit through one side of leading to a center hole. Maybe that could be my problem. Can this part come off with wear and can it be replaced easily. Thanks again.

If you are having problems I would look at the arm on the pump they do wear down sometimes as much as a 1/2 inch. That will be easier to check before removing the timing cover to check the eccentric. And yes it is bolted to the end of the camshaft.

On a 383, there is a push rod that rides on the eccentric and pushes the fuel pump lever down.
On a 318, the fuel pump lever actually rides on the eccentric?
Enlighten me please and thank you!

If you get a camshaft originally made for a magnum motor or a motor that was originally fuel injected the shoulder is not on the cam to hold the eccentric. I hope that helps.
