I've been working on restoring the D-Jetronic EFI on my 73 2.0L. I've installed SS fuel lines, relocated the fuel pump to the front trunk, reinstalled the manifold and throttle body, installed the injectors, and plumbed the system.

My first test was going to be pressurizing the system to check the pump, regulator, and all the hose connections. I connected across the fuel pump relay socket on the relay board and all I got was a "clicking" noise from the fuel pump. Worse, I find that the fuel pump is leaking fuel from around the electrical connector.

Looks like I need a new pump. Anyone have any advice? Can I use a 75-76 pump in my '73? They appear to be significantly less expensive. What's the difference? Also, does anyone have any experience with the rebuilt pumps available from Automobile Atlanta? Would you go for a rebuilt pump or find a used pump off a parts car?
