It's been a while since I updated on the fuel pump. The hubs and I went on a vacation, but I'm back. So I've added pictures of where the old mechanical fuel pump location was and how the current system is set up.
I've read back through our back and forth and might repeat a couple things in my previous posts, but I just want to make sure I'm clear on everything.
The carburetor is the original that came with the Jeep.
There's one line that goes from the carburetor down to the fuel filter. There's only one in and out on the fuel filter and it's running along the passenger side frame. I don't see another line that comes out of it like on yours above and I've attached a picture that shows only two ports.
However, when I followed the fuel line from the carburetor down to the 2-port fuel filter and then down to the electronic fuel pump and then out of the fuel pump to the gas tank (the electronic fuel pump that's there is c-clamped since I took it out and didn't want to bolt it back in for the picture)SURPRISE! There's another line coming back out of the gas tank right next to the other line, but it runs all the way along the driver's side frame to the front end of the car and isn't connected to anything. I'm guessing this is where the line would've extended to connect to the original mechanical pump. I'm pretty sure when the Jeep was running, it must've been spurting out gas.
The Jeep doesn't have those cool optional things added to yours, the fuel pressure gauge and regulator, but being able to fine adjust the pressure going into the carburetor is pretty awesome! I'm thinking those gadgets will be under my hood soon as well.
As I said before, the electronic fuel pump didn't have a part number, manufacturer, or anything of the sort, but I'm pretty positive if I had a fuel pressure gauge and the pump was working, it would've read much higher than 5psi.
So as I understand it, when the new mechanical fuel pump comes in and I attach it to where it's supposed to be, I'll run the 3 port fuel filter and then the lines down the driver side frame all the way to the tank and remove all that mumbo jumbo running along the passenger side frame.
As soon as the pump comes in and I get the Jeep running, I'll post an update to my success (with your help of course)!
