I recently picked up a 73 1.7 that had been stored inside for 20 years. The body is great as expected sitting inside, but the fuel pump does not work among other things and looking for a replacement I see that they are no longer made. Great! Can I retrofit a later model pump to fit my car? I thought the injection systems were pretty much the same all the way through the years, but the newer pumps look vastly different from my hunk of metal pump, mine having 3 hose connections and the newer ones only the typical two. Thanks in advance.

In the picture above, the pump has been moved to the lower firewall. Can it be left in the stock location on the existing rubber mounts?
If you move it to the firewall, is it loud inside the cabin? Just drill a couple of holes in the firewall for a bracket? Thanks |

You also have the fuel filter. Plus the fuel pump isn't the easiest thing in the world to attach. I did mine a few months ago just as pictured with excellent results. |

I did mine also as pictured above a while ago Easy.....I've driven in 110 ambient temps in So Cal. It was an easy install with no problems. |
