How's your hole...pushrod hole that is.
Well I pulled the plate and the plug and indeed the pushrod hole was behind the plug itself.

The next picture shows how the holes are lined up on my block.
They look identical to me....
Which means, my '89 block was drilled out for a mech fuel pump.
Now to determine if I actually have a cam lobe to make a mech fuel pump do its thing, then find a fuel pump and pushrod combination that will work.
Thinking of just flipping the motor to one side, sticking a chopstick or wooden spoon handle into the pushrod hole, give the crank a few turns and see if it moves up and down.
If so, I think I can safely assume there is a lobe. If not, back to the electric fuel pump idea.
