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:

https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/0439...59&DID=4630

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)

If the fuel is poisoned, you have to clear that first!

Suck tank dry, add a quart, suck tank dry again.

Add a gallon, direct drive the fuel pump with the feed hose in the E-compartment discoed into a fuel can. Run a qt of fresh fuel to e compart. Clear the lines.
Hook up feed and disco return. Run a pint through, clear the e-compart lines.

This will clear 98-99% of the bad fuel.

Feed the bad fuel to a daily driver SLOWLY.

My NAV (negative actual value) 97 Chevy van is my poison eater!

In Ft. Worth they will take bad fuel. I haven't found anyone who will take chemicals/fuel/paint in Granbury.

If you need a transfer pump for draining the tank you can use mine.

Simple Facet square fuel pump with long lines. You are welcome to borrow it.

Siphon can work but after you've had a load of varnished fuel in your mouth, you'll never do it again!
