NEED HELP: 1974 1.8L Will Only Start with Brake Clean, Runs with AFM disconnected only Options

[Nor.Cal.914]

Hello everyone,

I have a 1974 1.8L that needs a new fuel pump and the customer purchased this pump from Pelican:

I have already figured out the line routing in terms of inlet and outlet, but I do have a few questions about some other aspects. Being that the stock pump is a 3-port pump, first question is, what was the reasoning behind the 3 ports instead of just an inlet and outlet? My first thought was maybe an internal FPR, but I see there is a one in the engine compartment so that doesn't seem to be the case, but please correct me if I'm wrong! Second question involves mounting the pump. I have a 1975 so I'm not as familiar with how the 1974's were setup. This car has the coil style ring bracket around the pump which I'm now trying to figure out if I can utilize to mount the new pump. Main issue of course is the fact that all 3 lines came out on one side of the factory pump, whereas this pump has inlet/outlet on either side.

So my question is, what have you guys done to mount your pumps either in the same location or where did you place it instead of the factory location? Thank you in advance for the help! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

That caught my attention too @wonkipop the wire being severed from the dual relay. The other thing that caught my attention was the vacuum hose missing on the distributor vac advance unit. Having this 74 1.8 pop up it would be great to get information off this one if it's a EC-B or EC-A etc for our research haha.
