I didn't read all the posts (a lot), so someone might have said it already but, I used a copper washer from a brake caliper hose to caliper fitting washer on mine. It's a perfect fit. Some may like a lighter or firmer feel, so you'll have to make washer adjustments, (thickness) but works great & it was free cause' I had the washers lying around.
It is time consuming doing this mod, but well worth it.

Does someone actually have a picture of WHERE the shims install in a Federal pump? Thank you drive through.

Just to add info, I pulled my 73 Challenger Saginaw pump out for a rebuild and found 3 washers measuring .072.
The car was always a little loosey goosey but no problems.
I have added .030 as a test with a locally built firm feel chuck.
It's not back up and running yet but i am sure of improvement.
One change I made before rebuild was to install a tuff wheel with a smaller diameter.
This made a noticeable difference in feel because of decreased radius.

This can't be done on a Federal or TRW pump, only Saginaw pumps.
