The fuel pump is located on the right side of the engine towards the front.
Just follow the fuel line from the carb, it goes to the fuel pump.
To check the pump, you will need a fuel pressure gauge to check the pressure output of the pump. Not sure what it should be but a service manual will tell you what the pressure range should be.

Re: fuel pump

Actually it depends... If he has a 4.3L V6, he would have TBI and it would be in the fuel tank.

Good point.
I assumed it had a carb from his other post..
You know what happens when you assume things...

Re: fuel pump

I guess I missed his other post. If he's a V8, you're spot on. But I didn't see anything listed in a signature.
