I just rejoined after a 15-year break....it's good to be back with access to all the information. I searched the archives, and if after reading this question, someone wants to point me to already posted article/thread, I'm happy to do some reading.
I realized that my car didn't have an external fuel filter, so I ordered one along with the prebent hoses. After looking, I figured someone had put on an aftermarket pump, but when I pulled the fuel pump today (my car is a September 69 build-date car), it had an AC-stamped 40769 fuel pump. It might be hard to see in the picture(s), but as best I can tell, it appears that the full stamp reads 140I40769 which all my research says is a 140 julian day, 1969 fuel pump build date. That would line up nicely with my car's build date, however, I can't find any other 1969 SB cars that used the 40769 before 1970. I believe I'm supposed to have a 40658 pump possibly with an FI or GI preceding it on the stamp. Can anyone confirm that the 40769 wasn't used at all on a 1969 SB?
Thanks in advance.
