i got my original fuel pump rebuilt and and going to hook it up soon, i have been running a electric one since i got the engine running. i see in the manual the side fuel comes in and the side it goes to carb. but i am unsure of the hook up for the wipers above. which end goes to wiper motor? also where is the port the other end goes to? thanks all the hoses were rotted away when i got the car.

  • On my '50 Pacemaker (with the dual action fuel pump), the front port (towards the radiator) connects to a port on the firewall side of the intake manifold (under the carb). The thread in my manifold is 1/8" NPT so is the fuel pump. I just put in a new line that was made for my be one of the members of the club.

    thank you for the info. i looked today and i think i found the correct port. it's on the front of the intake riser just under the heat shield. i remember putting a plug here a couple of years ago. i think i should be able to do a metal brake line or something pretty easy. unless someone else knows of something better.
    so the front port goes to manifold and rear port goes to wiper motor correct?
  • On the fuel pump, Yes - front to manifold and rear to wiper motor.

    I will need to look at my manifold closer to see if there is a port on the front side as well. The line I replaced was hooked up to a port in the rear.
