The Volkswagen Beetle fuel pump of 1979 usually sits on the upper part of the engine block where the alternator and the distributor are located. In models with a carbureted engine (most common in the '79 Beetles) the pump is a mechanical fuel pump that is powered by the camshaft of the engine. It is placed between alternator (or generator) and the distributor and it is directly connected with the fuel line leading out of gas tank.
But in the case that your original 1979 Beetle has been converted to fuel injection, the fuel pump will be electric and mounted below the car either at the fuel tank or along either chassis on the driver side.
Whether you need to service or rebuild a classic VW Beetle, you should not have any trouble locating high-quality items like engine parts. At Used Engine Part we deal mainly with quality used engines and OEM parts of old and new cars, hard-to-find parts of air-cooled Volkswagens.
