Thanks for the lesson on the fuel pump. Very informative. Was there a reason you did not just try to rebuild the old one? I have a 72 240Z and for some reason the pump is not pumping. Car has sat for about 8 years,. So i assumed the diaphragm had gone bad, but before i tried to find a rebuild kit i decided to take it apart, while still on the engine. All seems in good order for all i can see. The pump is not leaking oil or fuel. Just not pumping out fuel. It did suck fuel into the fuel filter?? MMmm A complicating factor is that my pump is surrounded by the air conditioner frame, and i had hoped i could rebuild without having to take the car apart to get to the pump. Any suggestions overall., Also any suggestions on rebuild kits?

The mechanical fuel pump is not working. Car has been sitting for 8 years. I know i need to replace/rebuild the mechanical pump. After researching have decided to rebuild. HOWEVER, the pump is surrounded by the air conditioner mount and A/C compressor. Is it possible to rebuild the pump without taking it off the engine??
