Hi guys,

Hope someone can help me. I need to know if the 1600 Dp (AD)engine from 71 bug have the three bolt flat lob cam in it? I am wanting to buy a fuel pump but was told it is compatible with only the 3 bolt cam engine. Any help would really be appreciated. Cheers

Hi

The cam changed in May 1971 from 3 bolt to 4 bolt. Its pretty hard to tell without pulling the old pump out. You could go on engine number but that may be inaccurate as well.
