I have a later 292, the pump bolted up fine. I have not run it yet, but I see no problems with it.
thanks, Mark

No I could see that it would not work so I bought an FE fuel pump, I can't see how an FE fuel pump would ever work on a 54. But a couple of post above this one, some body did. thats why I am confused about it.

On a '54 the pump is upside down compared to '55 and later. I'm not sure the arm would contact the cam properly if you put a '54 pump upside down on a '56.

I am a little confused, I tried putting a 54 double acting fuel pump on my 56 292 which is installed in my 54 Merc, and found the 54 bolts were too small in dia. and would not cover the hole for the fuel pump arm, it was like the pump was upside down.

You must not have the original 256 in your 54 Merc

Mine was blowing oil out pretty bad, I found two new FE pumps on ebay super cheap. The arm looks identical, also the bolt flange. I mocked up both pumps today, one even fits up to a hardline going to a garbage can filter. Looks like it fits just fine.
thanks, Mark

Kid: Do you have vacuum wipers? All the pumps mentioned above are without the vacuum booster. If you need the booster, you'll have to pony up the $90 for the replacement.
