Just curious if anyone has noticed one version being better than the other.
I think the originals had a spring pressing against a thimble like plunger. The modern manufactured have a wider spring and a massive ball bearing.
Does one style perform better or worse than the other?
I pulled the ball bearing out of my modern pump and dropped in the thimble shaped plunger yesterday. I went for a drive today. My starting up pressure was the highest I've ever seen. About 50lbs. While driving, I'd like to think I saw more positive movement on the gauge than usual, but I'm not entirely sure if that was wishful thinking or not.
Anyone have an opinion on the matter?

I do not have an opinion!, other than each type was engineered for the type of spring supplied. I know people who have shimmed the spring with washers to up the pressure. Perhaps HG can chime in on this!!!!  |

Personally my spring is a lot bigger and so is my big brass ball .
I think the thimble headed ones are the older ones
HTF would shimming the oil pump make any difference?
I think you're asking the wrong guy.
However I do know this the older ones take longer to prime!
And the captain being 51 today I'm sure he understands this by now.
Now I got to stop at the store for some Coors and some camels so Lee go back to pullin your stump!

Listen you lowland Bastage, shims make the spring tighter, and that Einstein makes more oil pressure, kinda like your blood pressure when the box pops up to say your banned from this forum........... Makes sense now, doesn't it! .  |

No, on the contrary , Schimms never raised my blood pressure!
You however..... What a bunch of horse poop. I should live to see these said shimmmmmmmms!
I think in your old age, you are thinking of the fuel pump.
Now....schimmmmms there.
Turocy is still trying to figure out how to pull a stump...
You have it Mastered...
Thimble my Arse!!!
Let's see the Schimmmmsssssssss!
And perhaps a technical thread....
