99 problems and a Ford ain't one.

I opted for electric because I had been shown bad cam fuel pump lobes on all makes of cams. Also, did you know there are only around 3 cam manufacturers in reality? The companies just add their own grind to them. Fuel is not pouring out and the oil is not thinned. Changed it yesterday and it still drops to 5 when motor is stalling

There are only 3 cam CORE manufacturers, not 3 cam companies.

Ok...so if there ain’t fuel blowing out the boosters and vents, your gauge is garbage. That’s all that can be. You can’t have that much fuel pressure and expect it to not push fuel out every hole it can find.

That still doesn’t address your oil pressure issues, which is going to require pulling the engine.


BTW, a small block Chrysler doesn’t have a fuel pump lobe on the cam. It uses a bolt on eccentric that bolts on in front of the cam gear.

FWIW, as a general rule, if the fuel pump bolts to the block it will have a lobe on the cam for the fuel pump. If the pump bolts to the timing cover, it will have a bolt on eccentric on the cam gear. If you remember that, you can walk up to most any Detroit engine and and be almost certain if it has a lobe on the cam or an eccentric.
