Fuel Pump Fuse
I've read that the fuel pump fuse is located by the battery, but I have no fuse in that area at all. Any idea of where the fuel pump fuse could be located?.. wanted to check it before I put in New fuel pump.

Re: Fuel Pump Fuse
The 84 is carbureted. Some of the carb engines had an electric pump in the tank to prevent vapor lock, but it wasn't the primary source of fuel delivery. All the carb engines have a mechanical pump on the front right corner of the engine block. It's below the alternator, just above the corner of the oil pan. Why do you think you need a fuel pump. Have you done any testing?
First test of a mechanical pump is to detach the fuel line from the carb, put rubber fuel line over the end of the metal line and into a container, crank the engine and look for fuel out the end of the line. It's a hard line from the pump to the carb so you'll also need to loosen it at the pump. Use a line wrench on the flare nuts and an open end wrench to hold the fittings of the pump and carb so you don't damage anything.
If no fuel from the pump, be sure the supply line from the tank isn't clogged. You can blow back through it carefully with shop air and listen for air bubbling in the tank.
