    I am in the middle of engine assembly. I am using an electric fuel pump. How do you block off where the old fuel pump went in the frint cover? Where can you get this part?

    Any speed shop, they make a little plate that goes over the hole.

    gdemopesq the bolts are usually to long since the plates are normally thin.
