    Yeah, Auto Zone lists mechanical fuel pumps for all three engine options in that car. If you got an electric pump for a '78 Fairmont, it's a universal type and not stock.

    All the electrics I know of need to be as close to and below the tank as possible. They're made to push fuel, not pull it from the tank to the engine bay.
