I recently picked up a 73 1.7 that had been stored inside for 20 years. The body is great as expected sitting inside, but the fuel pump does not work among other things and looking for a replacement I see that they are no longer made. Great! Can I retrofit a later model pump to fit my car? I thought the injection systems were pretty much the same all the way through the years, but the newer pumps look vastly different from my hunk of metal pump, mine having 3 hose connections and the newer ones only the typical two. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the great responses here as I didn't realize this board was this active. Napa has the Bosch pump you recommend and I can get the 12 mm fuel line and filter there as well. How many feet of line am I going to need? Also, I am wondering if I should pull the gas tank to empty it completely, or just pump it out and refill it a few times to get all the old gas out as its not alot of fun pulling the gas tank out.

Pull the tank and clean it out . Don't run the old stuff through your new pump, just empty it into another container and dispose of. Clean and inspec the tank for rust and such crud.Good luck...
