Lets see, its been a while. I think I used the 12mm barbed to go to the *nominally* 0.5" tube coming out of the fuel tank (that's a tough one to find in fuel safe material) and the 9mm barb for the outlet. Once all the soft fuel tubes got replaced I promptly forgot all the dimensions...

On my '71 the fuel pump rests on a tray just to the right of the fuel tank and behind the rear wheel. It has both the pump and the fuel filter in there.

I've heard that different years came with different fuel tank outlet diameters (0.5" being the biggest). Maybe there were different ways of mounting the pump too?

I hated that job. I think every tool I owned ended up smelling like gasoline. *shudder*
