The
double-action fuel pump consists of a metal
body, a rubber diaphragm, rocker arm, valves,

Nut springs, gaskets, and a glass sediment bowl complete

The
metal pump body provides
a
work­
ing housing for the diaphragm, lever, valves, and springs. The fuel pump is mounted on the left side
of the
engine
and is actuated by an eccentric on the
camshaft. An air
dome
is cast into the metal cover
to relieve the carburetor
needle
valve and the fuel
pump diaphragm of excessive pressure when the

carburetor
needle
valve is closed.

Tracing
pump operation from the beginning, the
camshaft eccentric forces the diaphragm up, over­
coming spring pressure.
This
action creates a
partial
vacuum
in the pump chamber.
Fuel
from the main

tank
is forced into the low-pressure pump chamber
through the open disc valve. Incoming fuel supplies
the force necessary to open the valve, which is

a
one-way check valve. As the
engine
camshaft continues to rotate, spring pressure forces the

diaphragm
downward as the pump rocker arm
follows the camshaft eccentric to its low
spot.

The
downward action of the diaphragm
closes

the intake valve and forces fuel to the carburetor

reservoir
through the pump
outlet
valve. Both intake and
outlet
valves are one-way check valves
opened and closed by fuel flow. No mechanical components are required in the control of valve
operation.

Fuel
is delivered to the carburetor only when the float
needle
is off its seat. When the fuel level in the carburetor bowl is high enough for the float to
force the
needle
against its seat, pressure backs up
to the fuel pump air
dome
and causes the diaphragm
to
stop
pumping. In this position, the pump is said
to be balanced because the pressure in the pump- to-carburetor line equals that of the diaphragm

spring.
In this way, fuel from the pump to the
carburetor
is always under pressure. The carburetor

uses
fuel, causing the float to drop and
pull
the

carburetor
needle
valve off its seat. Pressure in the pump immediately drops as fuel is delivered to the

carburetor
reservoir. Almost instantaneously the

diaphragm
again starts operating to pump more 125

E-48.
Vacuum
Pump

The
double-action fuel pump resembles two single-
action pumps placed one
above
the other. A single
fuel pump rocker arm actuates the two separate diaphragms. One diaphragm is part of the fuel
delivery pump and operates as described in Par.
E-45.
The other diaphragm is part of the vacuum
pump and operates as described here.

As
the actuating lever forces the diaphragm upward against spring pressure, air is forced through the

outlet
port
into
the
engine's
intake manifold. On
the return stroke, spring pressure forces the
dia­
phragm downward, creating a
partial
vacuum and
opening the inlet valve. In this manner, air is pumped out of the windshield wiper motor and
into

the intake manifold. When the wiper motor is shut off, manifold vacuum holds the diaphragm against its spring so that the
full
motion of the actuating
lever is not accompanied by a
complete
up-and-
down motion of the diaphragm.

When
the windshield wiper motor is turned on, but manifold vacuum is greater than the vacuum
created by the
booster
pump, air
flows
from the
wiper motor through both valves of the vacuum
booster.
As manifold vacuum drops off as a result
of the
engine
operating under low
speed
and high load, the vacuum created by the vacuum
booster

will
be greater than
engine
intake manifold vacuum

and
the pump
will
operate the wiper motor when the wiper control switch is turned on.

•
Refer to Fig. E-29. Remove the
eight
cover attaching screws and
lockwashers, and remove the cover, diaphragm

spring
and spring seat. Detach the diaphragm rod
from the rocker arm and remove the diaphragm.
The
valve assemblies are pressed
into
the cover

and
body
and lightly staked. They may be removed
with the point of a knife blade. If installing new valves be sure the inlet and
outlet
valves are
correctly positioned and stake them lightly with

a
small punch.
Assemble the vacuum pump in the reverse order
of disassembly, drawing the cover attaching screws up evenly and tightly.

seriously affect en­

gine
operation and high pressure can cause exces­

tor.
Should there be any doubt of normal opera­
tion, check the procedure as outlined in Par. C-23.
In
addition to proper fuel pressure, volume of the
pump is also important. When testing for proper

Fuel
Pump Removal

To
remove the fuel pump from the Dauntless V-6
engine, disconnect the fuel inlet, fuel
outlet
and fuel return lines from the pump. Remove the two
fuel pump body attaching cap screws and lock

washers.
Pull
the fuel filter bracket free and remove the pump and gasket. Discard pump and gasket.
Install
new pump in reverse procedure of removal.

AIR
CLEANER

Servicing
of the air cleaner is properly taken care of as part of the periodic lubrication and servicing of the vehicle. For this reason, air cleaner servicing
information is given in the Lubrication Section.

Refer
to and follow the instructions given there.

E-70. ACCELERATOR LINKAGE
The
accelerator linkage is properly adjusted when
the vehicle leaves the factory. However, in time
components parts
will
become
worn and require re­
adjustment to maintain a smooth even control of
engine
speed. On Models equipped with F4
engines

the adjustment is made at the adjusting block,

Fig.
E-34. Loosen the lock nuts, and adjust the length of the accelerator rod so that when the
car­

buretor throttle valve is wide open the accelerator
treadle
will
just strike the toe board. After correct
adjustment is made tighten both lock nuts firmly.
To
adjust the accelerator linkage on V6
engines

loosen
the lock nuts securing the accelerator rod
housing to its securing bracket and adjust the length
of the accelerator rod so that when the carburetor throttle valve is wide open the accelerator treadle

will
just strike the toe board. After correct adjust­
ment is made, tighten lock nut firmly, see Fig. E-35 for Dauntless V-6 engine.

SERVICE
MANUAL

E
portant that
these
lines are not accidentally re­
versed.

When
installing the fuel tank on late model vehicles, position the tank
between
the frame
rail

to allow space to connect the fuel line(s), vent
hose

and
sending unit wire. After connecting
these
items, align and secure tank to frame brackets.
Position filler
hose
on tank filler neck and tighten
hose
clamp.
Fill
tank with fuel and check for leaks.

When
installing the fuel tank on early model vehicles, reverse the order of removal as given in

Par.
E-73.

E-75.
Fuel
Tank
Cap

A
surge pressure type fuel tank filler cap is used on

all
models.
This
is necessary to prevent fuel leakage
from
the cap vent opening when the vehicle is on a
side slope. Two spring loaded relief valves which
open when venting is required are built into the
cap.
Should the pressure valve
fail
to open, pressure
in
the tank may force fuel by the carburetor inlet
valve causing flooding.
Failure
of the vacuum valve may prevent flow of fuel to the carburetor. Should
the valves
fail
to vent install a new cap.

Note:
Vehicles having a
Fuel
Evaporative
Emis­

sion System are equipped with a non-vent sealed gas cap. The sealed cap is designed to allow no
vapors to discharge to the atmosphere. No other type of cap is to be used on vehicles having this
type system.

E-76.
Fuel
Gauge Float Unit

The
fuel tank
gauge
float unit is mounted in the top
of the fuel tank and consists of a housing enclosing
a
rheostat that is actuated by the float arm, and a
float
which
moves
with the fuel level in the tank.
On
V-6 and current production F4
engine
equipped vehicles, the fuel
outlet
pipe is integral with the
float
unit.
The fuel
outlet
pipe has a mesh filter on the inner end.

Note:
Under no circumstances should a fuel tank

gauge
be installed without a mesh filter element.

The
filter,
outlet
pipe, and float unit are locked as

an
assembly to the top of the fuel tank. To remove,

turn
the lock plate that secures the float unit
assembly.

E-77.
Fuel
Lines

Check
lines and connections occasionally for leaks,
and
for severe kinks that might restrict the flow of
fuel. If an excessive amount of
dirt
is found in the
carburetor
or fuel pump, the fuel tank should be
drained
and the fuel lines blown out with com­
pressed air.

All
rubber fuel lines and their respective clamps should be checked occasionally to be certain they
are
correctly positioned and not leaking. 133
