When I turn my key all the way, right before it engages the starter, it (fuel pump? Solenoid?) goes "click...click...click" about ten times, with diminishing frequency and stops. Again, this is before engaging the starter.

I know my '70 doesn't have one. Besides (going against the wisdom amassed here), seems to be more access room right where it is than under the tank (regardless of access holes big enough for one hand), and unless heat (vapor lock) is an issue, how much can six feet difference make to a pump picking up gas from a gravity fed hose ? I have the access hole on my 73. I believe your thinking of a different hole. I'm talking about the round hole to access the tank fittings not the fuel pump access hole. Place the pump where you wish. It's your car. There was logic behind Porsche moving it up front in 74 and why all OEM's now place the pump in the tank. |
