Hey guys. I am getting close to firing up the 303. The previous owner rebuilt the fuel pump, installed it and that's it. I can't find info on what line goes where. Looks like the fuel tank line supplies the bowl fitting. There is a feed to the carb, not hooked up, and a feed to the bottom of the 4 barrel not hooked up. Looks like one more outlet too on the pump. Can't find any diagrams. Can anybody tell me which goes where. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I found an article on a Buick pump. It would appear that the two upper ports are for the vacuum wipers. I will look again tomorrow. So I am thinking that the carb supplies manifold vacuum to the pump top. Then the vacuum comes out the other top port, and goes through the firewall to the dash to power the wipers. Should be able to block them off. Or maybe hook up the carb vacuum line and block the outlet, just as the wiper motor must do in the off position..

The fuel inlet on the carb should be near the top on the front on the passenger side.

Thanks for the reply. I can see the fuel inlet there on the carburetor. I just called a neighbor up in Siskiyou county. He is 84 years old and has owned several, including a 1949 Olds convertible back in the day. He said I can hook up the gas section of the pump and just not hook up the wiper vacuum section or block it off. So, I will try that tomorrow if I don't get called in for work driving the Pete. My neighbor is a good guy. Brews his own moonshine.
When I visit, we sometimes sit out on the porch and he plays his fiddle, and me my banjo. Makes for some nice summer evenings.! Robert
