I cant really tell where its leaking from, the whole sidw of the block is covered in oil, the plate has 2 bolts, and is abt 12 in long... What caused the bwck pressure and how do I do away with the mechanical one? & when I saw pouring its 3 quarts every 30 miles

I wonder if my 3.0 has that plate,because I have oil on my passanger side of my block, and I have new valve cover gaskets

Mine is on my drivers side, I took it off, it was dry insede, I saw some type of shaft... Not sure what it was. But I started it abd thats when the oil cane out, cleaned it up with degreaser, put gasket maker all around the plate and we will see tmrw!

When you said it was leaking on the side of the block by the intake, I thought it was running down from the pump onto the side of the block, not from the balance shaft cover. Sorry for the mistake about the leaking pump, but I still stand by replacing the fuel pump with the electric.

How do I do away with the mechanical

[pennyman1]

remove it and make a cover to fill the hole then seal it off. Use the gasket or fuel pump spacer as a template. You can use aluminum, steel, or even plexiglass to make the blockoff plate.

And use a electric one on the frame?

[camoit]

Yes but any electric pump will need to be as close to the tank as you can get it. Normally with in 1 foot. The easy place is under the filler pipe on the frame. Look for a post by Mopar_JA and how he did his.

Is thete a gasket for that side plate? If so anyone got the part#

[pennyman1]

its actually an o ring type gasket that fits in the groove in the cover. You should be able to use form a gasket and get it to seal.
