OK - I'll try to make this short but make sense as well.

Background
I have an 85' GL that has rusted through its coolant pipes and once fixed
decide that the radiator was going to spew coolant as well. There are a
laundry list of other issues too. So I purchased an 86' that has some minor
collision damage and decide to make mesh the two buses together.

Problem
The 86' will run it just needs a fuel pump. Great I'll use the one from the
85'. The problem is that the person I purchased the 86' from had already
removed the bad fuel pump and filter - so when I removed the pump from the
85' and went to place it on the 86' nothing looked the same. Being a major
neophyte I don't know what to do. The 85' had a short fuel line from the
tank to the square plastic filter - from the filter to the pump and then
another fuel line running to the engine. The 86' has the fuel line running
from the tank, no filter, and two small plastic lines coming from the engine
area - and another small plastic line that comes from the front of the
vehicle. My problem is I don't know what is what. Unfortunately looking at
the Factory repair manual hasn't helped me much either.

So now that you all think I'm really dumb (I can take it) - any advice to
point me in the right direction would be great. I miss a running bus!
