I'm trying to figure out how the FBs fuel system is setup. Does it have a in tank pump? Mines a 1980 if that matters.

I feel really stupid, but what does FB mean?

I have an 82 and an 83 and both have inline fuel pumps...don't know if that helps. I haven't had the joy of working on any older than that. I feel stupid with the last question, but although I can work on my car better than any man in the town where I live, I don't know alot of the abbreviated terms...Hell, half the time I couldn't tell you what a part is called...just what it does and how to fix it!

there all inline electic pumps.

spyder_doo

well mine's an SA instead of a FB but never did understand that completely. It's just the body style (fb, fc, fd)

It explains it in the Q and A section.

Okay, great! I'll check that out. I really hate to be stupid! LOL

external fuel pump mounted on the driver side under the car. system uses a return line and a vent line that run underneath the car.

I recommend that you get a Haynes manual and read it from front to back.

You will reference it many, many times, that's for sure......for the 80, just turn the key until all the idiot lights come on, but don't start the engine. Step outside of the car and then follow the whirring noise next to the driver's side tire to find the actual fuel pump.

If it's a Carter, there will be a gawdawful horrendous noise...

ok finally messing with this thing. does anyone have a pic of the stock fuel pump? I'm trying to figure out which hoses I need to run to my inline pump. I'm not sure what's all stock and what's previous owner crap.

The closest you are going to get in reference pictures is either a repair manual or the FSM.

YOu need to get dirty to learn. I bet you havent done **** to it.

GOOFYROTOR

does talking **** to it count?

spyder_doo

well seeing as how I've already routed new fuel lines, fixed alot of dude's crap, and custom made a bunch of this v8 swap...idk might have gotten dirty a time or two. wore gloves most the time though.

anyways...I was hopeing to figure out which lines in went where without droping the tank to find out. I'm only needing to run one line to the front without a return line, just dont know which one to use. This would probaly be simpler if dude man wouldn't have rigged it up the way he did.

spyder_doo

the vent line is the one going into the side of the frame right? doesn't really move alot...

The biggest diameter line is fuel going from tank to engine.

The smaller diameter line is fuel returning from engine back to the tank.

spyder_doo

I dont need a return line so can I just loop those together?
