Went for a long ride today in my '55 TBird. The cars runs great with no issues. When I pulled into the garage I heard a knocking noise coming from under the hood at idle. I recently changed the heads and rockers, so I thought one of my rockers had loosened up. The knock sounded like it was coming from the fuel pump. I used a long screw driver and the noise was not coming from the valve train like I suspected. I could definitely hear it coming from the fuel pump itself. I shut off the engine to let it cool down and the noise quit. The pump is an old 292 dual action pump with the vacuum lines plugged. Anyone ever had a fuel pump do this? I don't need the vacuum. Will a standard FE pump work in my 292?
