did it to my 73, 1.7. It's not that hard. I moved it under the fuel tank like a 74. I used the stock mounts, rerouted the wires ( PITA). Also the fuel filter needs to be relocated. I put mine under the tank, I cut off the stock filter mount and welded it to the wall under the fule tank on the pass side. It turned out slick, I could change the filter through the acess hole under the car. I didnt have the means to take pics at the time, I took a couple of pics of the nuts that are holding the pump mount. Hope this helps a little

not a big deal. Pump has a line going to the injectors and then a return line after the the injectors take the fuel they need the left over is cycled back so just need one line for supply and one for return. I have mine mounted to the cover under the tierods, but it would be better to mount in front trunk like 75and76 models were done. Make sure u put the filter in a good spot and get a good one that is desigend for a high pressure FI system.
