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.

Ok. Got old fuel pump out and realized i was confused about the attachment. It was the hardware that held the battery tray that needed to be accessed from behind. So access isnt an issue. Ordered a new pump (bosch unit) and will decide whether to go firewall or up front. Anyone install the new pump in the original location? I have never had a hot start problem.
