Where is the "lift pump" on these wagons.

Where is the vent that needs to be open when priming?
The primer pump is located on the driver side of the engine. Follow the fuel lines from the firewall, you'll find it. The old style pump has a white round handle, unscrew, and pump, when done push all the way down, and screw clockwise to lock. The new style is black, and needs only pumping, as it has a spring.
You have two filters, a clear one in-line, and a spin on one that looks like an oil filter, again follow the lines. It is located just behind the power steering pump. Forgive me if you already know this.
Anyway, loosen the small banjo bolt on top of the housing, the one with three lines, when priming. If replacing that one also, fill up with fuel before installing.
