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 |

What are the benefits of moving the pump to the front?
I see potentially easier access if it is in the trunk or maybe not if it is below the tank < a negative Also one line is needed instead of two.. thats a plus! A cooler running pump: thats good. |

All of the above, vaper lock is the big one, but I find that a lot of cars have the rear shelf where the pump mounts to be destroyed, and access back there is a PITA. I think it unclutters the fule line routing a lot. If you get the 75-76 mount then working on it becomes much easier as you are not on your back with gas dumping on you. |
