David, I know nothing about Giulietta's (did have a new one in '83 though) but what you describe sounds like the manual actuator. Used to prime the pump by hand. Seen that on other cars of similar vintage.

There is a boss on the front right of the engine block that looks like it fits the mounting plate for the fuel pump. The pump itself has a little port in the bottom that has a rocker for the rod to actuate (it looks like, anyway, similar to a GM mechanical pump) but I can't see where the rod would come from as the block has no holes for same to go into. Yes, I'm confused. The engine that came with the car is a 1600 instead of the 1300 (and yes, the correct engine mounts have been fitted) so this pump may not even go on this car. Help?
