I've been working hard on my newly-acquired 73 2.0. Thanks to everyone on this site for all the inspiration and motivation! Currently have engine out, engine compartment stripped, interior stripped, gas tank out. Since the car has been sitting for 30+ years, i decided I would replace all the fuel lines. I plan to buy a complete stainless fuel line kit from Tangerine. In the state I'm at currently, it would be an ideal time to re-locate the fuel pump. I plan to keep the D-jet injection. Should I move the fuel pump to under the tank? Are there any down sides to this? What pump should I get?
Thanks in advance, Aaron |

I have used an Airtex E8445 pump for years. 1 in, 1 out, 7mm fittings on both, and the correct pressure and volume for D-Jet or L-Jet. The upside is it is readily available at your FLAPS for around $100.00. You can get any pump that FLAPS sells as a cross reference equivalent.
They come with mounting brackets and all the necessary parts to make it fit nicely. But I do suggest you put a low pressure filter in front of the pump to protect from tank crud ruining it. Good Luck! |
