Fuel Pump Location
Can anyone tell me how to access a fuel pump on a 1969 Mustang Coupe Grande for replacement purposes? Thanks.

It's on the left-front corner of the engine on V8's, and the center left side of 6 cylinder engines.

It's the sensor that measures the fuel level.

Okay. Found it. But how the heck do I get to it? If I have to take that radiator hose off, will I have to drain the radiator?

Hmmm… I've never had to take a hose off to access the fuel pump. Unless you have some weird aftermarket hose…

Two fuel lines and two bolts. You should be able to change it in 1/2 hour. Remove the old one, clean the mounting surface completely, put a dab of break in lube on the arm, use a small amoount of gasket adhesive on the gasket, and you are all set.

I am not 100% sure but I think the fuel filter is on the carb. Bronze color. You can follow the fuel line from the pump to it I think.
