What did you do to your truck today part III

[scuderia]

Ordered a new Fuel Pump! Since putting in my 292 (used CL) it's had a pretty good tick. The motor starts and runs fine, good even. Doesn't smoke or seem to burn oil. Does have a couple of good oil leaks (oil pan and maybe rear seal) but this tick has been really bugging me. I've been reluctant to deal with the oil leaks only to have the thing grenade on me... Anyway, I've adjusted the valves a couple times and tightened the exhaust etc. but nothing made a difference.
So yesterday I was changing some grommets on the valve cover (one leak I figured I could at least address) and I fired it up and for whatever reason it I could suddenly tell the tick wasn't coming from up top. I grabbed a long screwdriver and sure enough the only place you can hear the tick is from the damn fuel pump!! Won't know for sure till I get the new one in but fingers crossed.
