fuel pump ?

[19fifty4]

I've linked to a pic of my fuel pump. There are 2 fittings which I removed and cleaned. The one in question is the one full of dirt. What, if anything is supposed to be attached to this fitting. Obviously nothing was prior to me taking it apart hence the dirt. The fuel line was attached to the fitting above which is obscured by my thumb. What belongs on this one?

Thanks Ed. Not sure what I did wrong. 2nd post and 1st time trying to use a pic. Thanks for the help...hopefully my question will now make some sense.

hey 54,

good question...wish I had an answer for you. Hope you get one because I would like to know as well. Welcome to the forum. There are some smart people here and I hope some rubs off on me.

I think it was for the vacuum wipers, or maybe not. If I remember correctly my 54 merc car had a fitting off of the fuel pump for the wipers.
