HELP HELP!!! Where's my fuel pump?! '82

Hey guys, I think my fuel pump just puked on me. I just disconnected the line from the rear part of the filter, and turned the key to the on position, and there's nothing coming out. Do any of you quickly know where the fuel pump is on an early (March) model '82 RX? VERY much appreciated-
Gary

P.S. I don't know what I'd do without this site-

On my 84 it is by the rear wheel on the driver side. It will have a protective plate that it is attached to.

Im with diablo on this one. It should be right back there by your fuel filter. If all else fails, just trace your fuel line back.

Heynes is my friend If it wasn't for that wonderful book of wonderous wonders, I would be so lost when it came to my nice little FB fix-me-up

Under the impression everyone should have a Heynes, and once I get a factory manual, I'll be pimpin' that off too

The filter is BEFORE the pump. No fuel pressure there. To check it, disconnect the bigger of the 2 fuel lines at the carb and see if its pumpimg out fuel with the key on.
