Basically the same.  The big block does not have a bolt in the front of the
engine block you can remove to thread a longer bolt into to keep the fuel
pump rod up and out of the way like the small block. The big block has a
plug below the fuel pump mounting boss to remove the fuel pump rod but you
shouldn't have to bother with that unless you want to have someone hold a
thin rod up against the fuel pump rod when you install the pump - much like
the procedure above for a small block. There is no 'adapter' plate to remove
if needed like the small block, the pump bolts directly to the machined area
on the block.

 

These steps should do it.

 

1.	Ensure new pump is correct with correct fuel line sizes and
connection angles.  If not correct, make it so.
2.	Install gasket on new pump and set aside to dry.
3.	Disconnect negative terminal on battery.  (I just always do.)
4.	Disconnect fuel lines on pump and be prepared for draining fuel.
5.	Remove two bolts that mount the pump and remove.
6.	Clean gasket mounting surface on block as needed.
7.	Optional: Remove plug below fuel pump to allow access to fuel pump
rod and either place some grease on the camshaft end of rod to keep it in
place or have someone with a thin, stiff piece of wire push the rod up
against the camshaft when installing new pump.  Either way, the rod needs to
be held up so arm of fuel pump can be inserted below it
8.	With at least one (preferably both) bolts in the new pump, install
pump and start the two bolts evenly ensuring the fuel pump rod is properly
positioned on top of the fuel pump actuating lever.
9.	Snug down the two fuel pump mounting bolts.
10.	Reattach fuel lines - replace rubber line from tank line to pump if
necessary.
11.	Reinstall fuel pump rod plug if removed in step 7.
12.	Reconnect battery.
13.	Start car and check for leaks.

 

I miss anything?

I have read my '66 Chevrolet Service Manual on fuel pump replacement - but
still have questions as I have not replaced one on a BB before.  Looking for
step by steps if someone has them and the do's and don't's.  Need to replace
the current '67 stock pump with a stock 66 pump so my stock fuel line / pump
elbow will work together.

 

Thank you!
