1979 SA fuel pump fuse

Anyone knows where is the fuel pump fuse located on a 1979 SA?

Asking for a friend that is stuck on the side of the road and the fuel pump is not turning on....

Thanks.....

20A fuse in the fuse block on the left side under the dash.

I will grab my fuse block cover as soon I get home, and snap a pic. On my way there now. Even if he figured it out print off the pic for future reference.

Just got home

Just realised it doesn't have a label for the fuel pump. It's the 15A on the bottom left it's on the engine fuse ran out to find the exact one for you.
Unpluged all the ignition fuses and that's the one, you can hear it turn on.

The 1979 wiring diagram must be wrong. It's showing 20A.

I know. I pull out the "Engine" fuse and my fuel pump stops. And that's in my 79 and my 80.
It might not be it, could run to a relay and the pump has a separate 20A somewhere or the FB has a 20A and it just got wrote in on the SA. I'm not about to trace electrical through a car to find out.

Did some more research and the the 1979 fuel pump fuse is 20A. X-04 is the fuse block and it shows a 20A BW (Black/White) wire going from the fuse block to the fuel pump.

Might be what the diagram says but not the fuse block it's self. Here I'll make mine match yours and it is a black and white wire

I can go get picks from 3 SAs that are all the same 2 79s and an 80

Is it really that important to fight about it you have already seen I'm not full of ****. Glass fuses, black and white wire different amperage even my 4/78 build date 79 has a 15A. That's where the pic is from. Maybe it's due to mine being a 4speed IDFK that's what my cars say end of story. You arguing is not going to suddenly change my 42 year 4 month(almost 5) old car. Tantrum or not

You should start your own thread about your car. Post some pics, let us know what happened / why you parked it, did you take any special precautions for storing it longterm? Have you done anything to try and get it started or are you just looking for someone to work on it?

Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately I just backed it in. I have been talking to Kyle from the Rotary Doctor. I have turned it over using a wrench on the flywheel. I am not very mechanically inclined. I will start a thread
