Ford Fuel Pump push rod

[Jacques Reed]

Hi Mariano,

I knew someone would know the answer, somewhere. Apologies for the red herring on the other forum.

I never knew they made two piece fuel pump rods but now I do also.

Just one thing, maybe Tony can answer it, that fluting on the upper piece, does it go into the pushrod stem? would make sense to be there as opposed to being exposed to make a tight fit in the stem. Doesn't do anything if exposed.
Perhaps the fluting is the full length but hard to tell from the photo. Seems smooth on the shorter end but could be just the photograph.

Over to you, Tony.

Cheers,
