I started tinkering with my project again a few days ago, and am in the process of getting the engine bay back together. Only problem so far is I had to replace the right engine shelf, and I cant remember how the fuel pump mounts ! I attached a pic of the area where the Haynes manual shows it to be, but the pic in the manual isn't the greatest. Also in the pic, what mounts in the slotted J shaped bracked above the motor mount? It has been too long ago since I tore this thing apart and I screwed up and didn't take enough pictures !!!!!! TIA

hmm. on your pic there are a couple of light spots that are pretty close to where I would guess the mounting points to be. Maybe those are remnants of your welding repairs. I don't think you need to be super accurate with the mounting location - just keep it clear of the firewall and as high as possible and you should be good to go. Do you still have the rubber grommets?
