1980 e35ecsm fuel connector

How the fuel line connector is fixed into engine body? EPC dos not not show any screw or such, should it just pull off?

You'll need to be more specific with that question.

A fuel hose leads from the fuel pump to a "Fuel Connector" that is attached to the engine. Is this what you're speaking of?

The above fuel connector also has a grooved prong. The connector at the end of the fuel line from the fuel tank has a spring operated clip that grabs into that groove that keeps it from falling off. Is this what you're asking about?

Right, I talk about the connector that is outside the motor cover, the one the fuel line with a primer bulb from tank attaches to. I'll replace all the fuel lines, from connector to pump and from pump to carb, while also the pump will be renewed. Would rather get the connector free of casing to pull the old line off and insert new one. P/n of the connector in question seems to 0376154

I think you're asking how to remove that fitting from the lower hood pan. If so, simply remove the hood and look inside. There is one bolt holding that fuel connector.

Thanks, that was it. It was hiding beneath the battery cables. Did not help much in separating the old fuel line though. I wished that it would come off with the fuel line attached. Well, got it off with only minor scratches and now I cannot do anything more before the parts arrive.
