A clear 1/4" vinyl hose connects to that and goes up to the carb. If you see fuel in it that means the diaphragm has gone bad and is leaking. It then would need to be replaced. I will post some pictures on how I connected up on my 69 ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

A new carb will most likely have a port you can connect it up to. It's safer this way if the pump should leak internally it won't get into the bilge or crankcase causing a fire problem. It will flood the intake and cause running problems and making you open the box to see whats going on  ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |
