So I had replaced all the old frayed fuel lines under my '74 2.0 since they were starting to leak. Now that I have finished, (bitch of a job under that RH side) the electric fuel pump has started seeping fuel from the electrical connect terminal area.
This original style pump looks to be a sealed unit and the only replacement option I have found is a rebuilt from Auto Atlanta @ $400 exchange. There are other elect pumps out there for less but are designated for carb units. I still have the D-jet system in place and working well so I am not interested in converting to carbs. Anybody out there know of a less-expensive option? |

Airtex E8445 or equivalent. Same pressure and volume as the stock pump.
Available at any FLAPS. |

The AirTex unit seems like the way to go, but has 8mm inlet and outlet. It would be great to find a pump that has 9.5mm inlet and outlet (plus a fuel filter with the same). Just trying to avoid the number of adapters it takes....always feels like building Frankenstein. |

I bet with a little persuasion you can get the same ID sized hose to fit both 8 and 9.5 fittings....

I take the brass inlet fitting on the airtex e-8445 and remove the nipple, then fit it with this:  That is a fuel filter for a carbureted Ford. The inlet on this is the same size as the suction port on the tank, and it is a filter to protect the pump from crap in the tank. |
