The old fuel pump has three inlets/outlets. I was told i could use a new aftermarket fuel pump, however the new fuel pump has and in and an out, how can i hook up the new fuel pump so that it will work with the fuel system? The engine is a 1.8L carbed. Do i have to hook up the return lines back to the fuel tank? thanks everybody.

Put a cap on it where it exits into the engine comp on the rear firewall. Your new fuel pump is for a carbed engine, correct? If not, do *not* use a high pressure FI pump and regulate it down! That's a engine fire waiting to happen ... When i had my 2056 with dual weber 44 IDFs, i ran a CB rotary fuel pump mounted in the stock location using the stock wiring to power the pump. The rotary pumps are *much* quieter and the CB unit generates the correct amount of pressure, so no regulator is needed.
