Can you swap the TD pump top onto a NA pump? Will is provide the same fueling?

Well if you have a Eco diesel, you can swap out the top and make it a "real" TD pump.  I would expect that if you are in the rebuild phase of a pump you could swap out / in the appropriate parts.  Don't know for sure though.

The ECO pump was actually an 8mm plunger and so simply swapping the top will not make it a TD pump which came with a 9mm plunger.  A TD pump onto a n/a pump should work.  I haven't run one that way yet, but have heard of others doing it and can't see any reason it wouldn't work.

8mm? wow... So the NA pump is a 9mm? Or should be, the numbers on the pump should tell me what size it is.
