Fuel pump information?

[classicZ]

Hi, can anyone help me with fuel pump information for a 260z.

 

There seems to be an electric fuel pump in the tank, i can hear it when the ignition is on.

There also seems to be a fuel pump attached to the block.

So that makes two??

The electric pump if original, should be mounted on a bracket behind the diff. Mechanical pump was only for early models or 240Z. Make sure but one should be disconnected. The mechanical pump I think may be disconnected.

I have an 044 left over from my last car, can I fit that in my 260z?

i had a mechanical pump in my260z 12/75, and no rear pump. . I installed a rear pump using factory wiring which is already there. I put a datsun L20B plate over the hole for the front pump.

I run the stock pump with Triples but i have a Mazda pump out of a 626 to go in.

Might be a later model 260 which came with the electric pump fitted. Then maybe and engine change came with the mechanical one fitted and was left on? Couldn't see a problem with two pumps because even if both work it's not like it will double the fuel pressure. Does build in a degree of redundancy if they do both work though.

If it aint broken....
