The fuel pump on my '74 2.0 is no longer holding pressure and I'm looking to replace it. I've seen NOS pumps pop up occasionally on this forum , and various rebuilt units from retailers (Auto Atlanta, Parts Heaven, etc.), but I haven't seen any aftermarket replacement versions. Do they exist?

You do not need to move to the front.

It will help to eliminate the possibility of pump overheating and vapor lock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)BTW, are you running FI or carbs? |

Moving the fuel pump to the front has been debated on this forum many times. From a personal standpoint I don't think it is necessary. I too suffered from vapor lock. Twenty years ago, I just moved the pump to the firewall and I have never had a problem since and we get some hot weather here in the south. As far as finding a bracket to fit the two prong pump, I used an coil bracket that came with a new Bosch coil. Love my stainless fuel lines from Tangerine Racing. They even had new rubber grommets too. If you go this route, you will need a reducer line from Tangerine so it will fit the fuel filter. The two prong pump takes a different filter than the three.

Those are great ideas. I like both the firewall and coil bracket thoughts. Do stainless fuel lines have any cooling effect? |

No cooling effect that I'm aware of but it is a good idea to replace the old plastic lines for peace of mind. I did mine as well as all the rubber fuel lines. |
