I'm going to replace the original '74 3 port fuel pump with a '75-76 2 port model in the original stock location on the body under the R/S engine tin. As long as the flow rate and the operating pressure are sufficient, are there any operational problems putting it there?? How about mounting??
I know these pumps "push" fuel better than suction, but I don't want to relocate it to the front trunk. (I'm also trying to avoid buying a China rebuilt 3 port.) All help appreciated. Paul |

I've had my pump get overheated in the stock location, cooled it down with ice cubes to get back on the road, this happened several time to me. Never with a four, everytime was with the six. I moved it up to the hell hole area and eliminated the problem.
