Fuel Pump

Dropped in a 272 and can't get fuel to the carb. changed to a fuel pump from the 292 I drove into the shop. Could it have gone bad during the engine change over? No inlet or outlet marked on the pumps.. Please humor me and tell me which line goes where.. BTW it has no glass bowl on either. ANy and all help is appreciated.

Thanks lots, That's the way I have it. MAybe the pump just wore out.

I may try a new one just to satisfy myself. For a $40 it will be a cheap investment and one more thing I don't have to worry about

I have advised many people on these, make sure your fuel filter is behind the electric fuel pump. Do'nt use a fuel filter in front of an electric fuel pump, it has a tendendency to crush the inner element.......Janet
