AnswerI'm not sure if you are asking where it is located on the car, or where to buy one?
I'll answer both questions, I guess. It is mounted on the side of the engine, toward the front of the engine, down low on the passenger's side. You'll see the fuel lines coming up from the chassis and going through a flexible hose to the fuel pump inlet. The fuel pump outlet is connected via a metal fuel line to the fuel inlet on the carburetor - just follow that line and you'll find the fuel pump. If there is no pump there, someone may have installed an electric pump, but I'd have no idea where they might have put it - you'll have to follow the fuel lines from the tank or the carburetor to locate it.
If you want to know where to buy one, they are probably not availabe anywhere new - what you have to do is remove the old one and send it in to be rebuilt. I'd take it to a NAPA store and have them send it in for you. If they don't want to do that, send it to Egge Machine Company, in Santa Fe Springs, CA - they will rebuild it for you.
I hope I've hit on the right question - if not try me again.
