Former owner foul-ups.
When I got my 67 Valiant it had an electric fuel pump in it.
This was a stock 273 and there was a fuel pump still on the engine.
I first removed the electric one and hooked up the original, nothing, tried a pump I had in the garage, nothing. Ok, get a new pump, nothing?
My first thought was there was no eccentric on the cam so I pulled the timing cover off and found there was an eccentric but the cam bolt was about to fall off, I thing the only thing that kept it in was the cover. The eccentric was just rattling around in there, the slinger was all scrapped up from the timing chain moving back and forth.
Torqued it down, closed it up and everything worked.
