    the one on the drivers side is the pump. it will have the connector with two wires to it.

    Re: Fuel Pump Help

    because they aren't using it I mean why would they add a second pump if the one in the fuel tank worked?

    well for one thing,unless you go to the dealer,about every replacment one out there is dog shit. you don't want to know how many pumps i went through. it might be fine also on a bone stock engine,but any mods and it's gasping for breath. i've had a fuel pressure gauge for years,and everytime you step on the gas the pressure goes to zero. it's pathetic little trickle of fuel probably couldn't keep up with a flipped lid mod,let alone anything serious. i'm going to be running dual sidedraft carbs here shortly,it def won't be able to keep up. it also is prone to burning out with anything less then half a tank,i haven't tried the bosch pump myself yet,but to be fair i've heard it's good. still stock specs though. i have searched and searched,and there is simply no one who makes an upgraded in tank carb pump. only efi pumps. this pump i found will meet my specs perfectly and will be able to keep up with almost anything.

    if you end up with a bad carb,go to importcarbs.com they have the best prices of anybody. all their carbs are overhauled and tested. they have been in buisness for a long time,so that says a lot,also the guy who owns the company rebuilds every carb personally. if i was buying another factory one,i def would get one from them.

    There should be an access cover in the trunk area over the tank, you remove the plate and there it is.

    Re: Fuel Pump Help

    I m not sure really if the pump is your whole problem. Most times the carb is the culprit on these cars when they get old.

    The timing turned up with the distributor the idle will go higher. You really should use a light. You should be getting 20 mpg at least with that car. Most get alot higher but that is a good place to start.

    I assume you used NGK spark plugs and the correct part number ?

    You may want to pull one and see what the tip looks like as well that tells you how the cars is running.

    Re: Fuel Pump Help

    There is a volume check on the fuel pump you can do. I don't have the specs at this point in time, but being it's at 3-6 psi. I assume if you take the line off going to the carb & put it in a milk jug. If it fills it up 3/4 to full in 1 minute, it's fine.
