Correct Fuel Pump for 1969 L46
Hello,
Had the pump go bad and start leaking around the top of the large brass crimped lower.
I am trying to figure out the correct replacement pump.
Again, this is the L46 high compression engine, much like the LT1 but with the qjet, cam, etc etc.
The pump I removed I believe was changed before by my father it is a 40726 (106M40726)
What I can find is the 40726 is a camaro z28/Lt1 pump
The corvette lt1 is a 40709 designation.
The traditional 350 common pump is listing as a 40658
Can anyone shed a little light on this? I know the high perf stuff is 3/8" in-out and supposedly the LT1 uses an inverted flare. Mine flares towards you at the pump; not sure if that is inverted.
Not a lot to find via search so any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Tom
