Good job Mikey! Looking good. Have you removed all power components from the car? Hows the interior coming along?

Started it but not with out another problem arising. There is a VERY loud knock when the motor is running. Even when it turns over. I assume the fuel pump ( mechanical). I can't figure out why or think of anything else it could be. Other then that all new fuel lines in, motor cleaned up and running, new timing chain in.... a productive day

when you say "knock", is it like rod knock?

Like fuel pump. I rigged a high pressure pump up to test that, removed the mechanical pump and it stopped. Not sure what I did wrong, there is only one way to put in a fuel pump. I forgot a gasket on the timing cover anyways so it's coming back off so I can check this out ( RTV FTW!!!) Will report back in a bit

I didn't forget as much as I didn't put enough RTV on one side. It will be done by the end of the night. I think I figured out the prolem with the knock as well

I think the arm on the fuel pump is slightly bent downward. 

For the record everyone,, that fuel pump came from my 306 with a cam.  If my blueracer cam "broke in" the fuel pump arm so to speak, its possible that filas cam/bell isnt "mated" to this fuel pump.  I would guess there is a gap in between the fuel pump arm and the bell when the fuel pump is in the rest position.

long story short, compare that fuel pump to a new one and see if the arm is bent downward.  Ill bet it is. 

If not,, then ask if there is a canadian fuel pump for that year car and compare it to a new US fuel pump.  There just might be a technical issue here because your cam is for CFI,, (atleast i think there is a difference)

From what you said on the phone, the more I think about it the cam mating sounds right. I'm about to tear into this to find out so if anyone watchin will be on in an hour, I'll have pics then

fuel pump eccentric

My guess is the bolt may be loose or backed out
