1973 with original fuel injection and fuel pump in factory location.
Fuel pump is dead. I would like to do the following: 1) Replace factory fuel lines with stainless from Tangerine Racing - I have the original plastic lines in the tunnel and the original plastic lines in the engine compartment 2) Relocation the fuel pump to the front while I am at it - need a new fuel pump It seems the original "3 fuel line connection" pumps are no longer available So: 1) Which lines to I need to purchase from Tangerine to do this? 2) What fuel pump should I buy to install in the front of the car? Thanks, John |

I am also considering if I can just replace the pump in the rear to keep it running for the rest of the summer and then take my time during the winter to replace the lines and move the pump.
Captain Krusty posted this on another forum several years ago in response to another person: "Have you considered changing over (you'll notice I didn't use the evil word "upgrade") to a later model single inlet-single outlet pump? It fits the original bracket ans requires a different fuel filter, a short piece of 12mm hose, and a piece of 7/7.5 mm hose to put in place of the "Y" in the return line. Simple, effective, and relatively inexpensive. I cal talk you through it, if you'd like. Bosch #69 469." I am going to PM him to take a look at this thread and offer any insight. John |
