Some of the 4160 Hollys have finger screens in the fitting before the needle and seat you might want to check to see if you have one that is clogged. Bill

^ ^ ^ I had the pin walk out of my dopey Airtek fuel pump once. After reading this post, I made a pair of "retainers"out of some scrap sheet metal that was hanging around the garage. Not as professional-looking as MRG's fabrication, but it does the trick. I'm no machinist, and it wasn't difficult at all. Here's what I did. Hope it helps...
