'75-'76 FI Fuel Pump in '74 Location, Any Problems Putting it There?? Options

[AvalonFal]

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.

Interesting. The Bosch D-Jet book shows a 3 port pump for all Volvo D-jet cars, and the '72 car here has a 3 port pump, as does the car I just put a pump in. However, when you put the part number from the equipment list into Worldpac, you get a roll-over to a pump with an off center 9mm outlet on one end, and a smaller inlet port on the side at the other end, and a plastic electrical socket like the one on a 914 pump. So we have your experience, my experience, the Bosch manual, and Worldpac's parts catalog, all without a clear majority agreement ............... Makes my job fun ....................

I used no book.
I removed the Original pump, covered in undercoating, cleaned that off and took the part number to the store.
Its a two port pump (Its a 73 ES Wagon) that is used on Djet....
The volvo, as you know, is djet..alot of the parts are the same, yet different.

I have two here, and a friend has one also..all have the same pump. They all seemed to die within about 12 months....odd but true. They lasted 35 years.

I replaced that volvo pump with the delco...no issues.
I then used the same delco on a 914...everything fit.
