That engine was in production for so long that some running changes were inevitable. The earlier ones had Auto-Lite electrics, which used an ear on the timing gear cover to mount the generator. The later ones were equipped with Delco-Remy, which had a different timing gear cover and generator mounting arrangement. The cloverleaf versions had different valves, rings and timing gears. All that said, complete engines will interchange.Skip Lackie

Okay... All of that is nice to know. So a '50 Commander engine's fuel pump likely wouldn't work, however would the fuel pump from a '53 truck work, is the question? That reminds me, I need to call S.W. about a generator.

If a dual-action fuel pump is desired on a truck with the Commander 6, a specific truck-unique pump with a long actuator arm along with a 677285 adapter is required. This is necessary to move the pump away from the block and avoid interference with the carb heat shield. These double-action pumps were dropped when electric wipers became available in 1953.Skip Lackie
