    Pump Return Spring Weight

    I've just installed the Drift pump kit on my '97 P-block. The pump arm length is perfect. However, the return spring could be 3/8" longer. If I point the barrel up, the back block drops down 3/8". I'm looking for the spring weight/size so I can source a spring that is 3/8" longer.

    You can just put something in the pump handle to take up the extra room. Cut a wood dowel or something.

      Go to your local hardware store with the current spring and look for one with a similar diameter & tension but longer length.

        I've seen someone use a cut chunk of macro to make up for the space

          I'm wondering if the ccm spring is longer?

            Nope all CCM do what you are describing if not more. You need to shim the spring or get a longer one.

              I’ve used this spring before and it might fit your needs. I never tried it on the inception drift kit but it is a bit stiffer and longer than the CCM spring.

                That should do the trick it’s longer and thicker so it’s going to give you more return pressure.
