When I turn my key all the way, right before it engages the starter, it (fuel pump? Solenoid?) goes "click...click...click" about ten times, with diminishing frequency and stops. Again, this is before engaging the starter.

QUOTE(kenshapiro2002 @ Aug 13 2009, 11:23 PM)  What access hole? Is there one in the pan below the tank? Yup. Passenger side. Round cover. If you pull that cover off you can get to the bottom of the tank. It's big enough to get one hand in and reach the tank fittings. Look here. Nice thread on the topic. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...mp;hl=fuel+pump |

I know my '70 doesn't have one. Besides (going against the wisdom amassed here), seems to be more access room right where it is than under the tank (regardless of access holes big enough for one hand), and unless heat (vapor lock) is an issue, how much can six feet difference make to a pump picking up gas from a gravity fed hose ?
