Electra Park Avenue V8-350 5.7L DSL (1982)
Fig. 26 Installing injection pump cover. V8 engine
22. Hold throttle in idle position and install new pump cover seal. Making sure that screws are not in cover, position cover about 1/4 inch forward
toward shaft end and above 1/8 inch above pump, Fig. 26. Move cover rearward and downward into position, using care to avoid cutting seal, then
reinstall cover screws. Each screw must have a flat washer and internal lock washer, with flat washer against pump cover. Torque screws to 37
inch lbs. and install vacuum regulator.
23. Reconnect both battery ground cables, then turn ignition switch to run position and touch pink solenoid wire to solenoid. A clicking noise should
be heard as the wire is connected and disconnected. If not, the linkage may be jammed in the wide open position and the engine must not be
started. Proceed to step 24. If clicking is heard, connect pump solenoid and housing pressure cold advance wires and proceed to step 25.
24. Remove cover, then ground solenoid lead (opposite hot lead) and connect pink wire. With ignition switch in run position, the solenoid in the cover
should move the linkage. If not, the solenoid must be replaced. Minimum voltage across solenoid terminals must be 12 volts. Reinstall cover and
repeat step 23.
25. Install throttle cable bracket, throttle rod, throttle cable and return springs. Make sure timing marks on pump and adapter are aligned and make
sure nuts retaining pump are tight. Install fuel return pipe.
26. Start engine and check for fuel leaks. Rough idle may be due to air in the pump. Allow sufficient time for air to purge by allowing engine to
idle. It may be necessary to turn engine off to allow air bubbles to rise to top of pump where they will be purged.
27. Adjust Transmission Vacuum Valve as described further on, then remove intake manifold screens and install air crossover and air cleaner.
