    Default 98 6.5 electronic to mechanical pump swap

    Merry Christmas to All
    This is the time of year that i actually take a couple of days off,and laze around the house.I also try my hand at technology.So this year i thought i would try to decipher the secret to posting pic's on here.
    So last spring i was forced to do the swap on my tow truck,one day it wouldn't start and after a frustrating attempt to get it running i pronounced the electronics NFG and started by cutting the wires to the pump.I had all the parts i thought to do the swap.Of course it wasn't plug and play,but it wasn't rocket science.
    The first pic is the only access to the fulcrum on the pump to hook the throttle cable up,i have the dual thermostat so the space is very limited
    The second one is the high idle i used.I got the solenoid off a old ford carb,i liked it because of the adjustment.I had to put it on the opposite side of the pump due to lack of real estate on the drivers side.The pump i used was a new military pump.I have 2 new ones and a few used ones and all had the plastic cam on them
    The third pic is the extension i made for the fulcrum to hook up the throttle cable.In order to get through the hole it had to be moved towards the fender about 3/4 inch,i used square tubing to make a new hook up.
    One of the things i like to do when i re engineer things is to keep it as stock looking as possible.And to make things so the factory made stuff will still be replaceable without having to modify it on the road when it breaks down away from home
