Sapporo G54b (12 valve-ish factory fuel pump odd-ness?)
Posted: Sun Jan 31, 2010 5:42 am
I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on a question I have on finding the correct parts for my 1983 plymouth Sapporo coupe.
the thing has a G54b 2.6L with interesting smog-crap head design, that incorporates an extra valve! (it's truly just a 8 valve motor)... the extra valve simply lets more air into the combustion chamber when the intake opens. (smog-crap)...and after some investigation (leaking fuel pump internals) I've found that the pump arm (pushrod) just barely squeezes between the head bolt and the extra valve... so the aftermarket "replacement" pump (that looks VERY similar...but not quite the same arm bend) does not clear. it is beyond modifying or trying to swap the old arm onto the new pump. I just need a new FACTORY replacement pump.
if there is a good (inexpensive) online source for factory parts, or if anyone knows the correct Mitsubishi part # to order, it would be greatly appreciated!
Please help me locate the correct part! thanks in advance for the input!
