I have a 1971 T3 Squareback with Fuel Injection and automatic transmission.

Trying ... to get it back on the road after sitting a couple years. Located a working electric fuel pump and new square filter. I have at least 3 mounting brackets! My 3 fuel pumps appear to be 2 lengths ... one mount has space for filter and pump; other two just hold pump.

I see original pump mount location. Assuming I can't get that cool filter and pump bracket to work ... where would the filter go?? Mine was just free hanging near pump.

Any pictures? Details of two different length pumps and different mounting bracket?

Any and all assistance appreciated!

Many are running a 2 port style Airtex fuel pump. Due to the port configuration moving the mount towards the center of the beam helps. I switched to this type after I discovered my "rebuilt" original would drop to 18 PSI once warm. I put in the airtex and still run the square style filter up front on my 69.


this thread has some good info & pix

The square filter is supposed to mount on the driver side of the beam.
I have my filter & original style pump zip tied in place as I've had to change pumps a couple of times.
I have a 411-412 style original pump on there now.
