My 73 1.7 has the fuel pump in the original location under the battery tray. I just finished reinstalling the engine and the pump is now leaking from what appears to be a bad O-ring from the research I have done. My pump is mounted with what I assume is the original thru body hardware. I was able to reach up and behind to reinstall the pump while the engine was out. There is no access now that the engine is back in. What am I missing here? I would think a service item like a fuel pump wouldn't require the engine to be removed. Thanks.

Or mimic the 75-76’ pump/filter placement behind the frunk firewall. Easy to access the filter, pump, hoses and clamps. R&Ring the rack cover is a pain. The filter? A potential fuel bath. Just buy a used 75-76 OEM cover/pump mount piece from someone’s part stash.
