Replacing a fuel pump on a 1975 Dodge Dart is a complex task that requires a range of parts and tools. The fuel pump is an essential component of a car's fuel system, and when it becomes worn out or damaged, it can affect the vehicle's performance and fuel efficiency. To replace the fuel pump, a technician will need to remove the access panel and, in some cases, drain the fuel. They will then disconnect the fuel lines, remove the old pump, and install a new one.

Replacing the fuel tank lock ring
To replace the fuel tank lock ring on a 1975 Dart, you will need to purchase a new lock ring. This is recommended whenever the sending unit is serviced. The lock ring securely retains the fuel pump assembly to the lock.
First, you will need to remove the old lock ring. This may involve removing the fuel tank or fuel pump module. Once the old lock ring is removed, you can install the new one. Make sure it is securely in place before reassembling the fuel tank or fuel pump module.
It is important to note that when replacing the fuel tank lock ring, you should also replace the fuel tank or fuel pump module if it is worn out. This will help optimise the vehicle's performance and fuel efficiency.
Additionally, whenever the fuel pump is replaced, the fuel lines should be disconnected and the pump should be removed and installed outside the tank. A check should then be done to ensure there are no fuel leaks.

Replacing the fuel tank strap
To replace the fuel tank strap on a 1975 Dart, you will need to remove the old tank first, then swap out the straps, and then put the new tank in. You will need to swing the whole strap to one side of the car or the other to slip the pin out of the pocket.
Each bolt has one strap with one side being bolted in and the other a rod that sits in a pocket. You basically rotate the strap about 90 degrees, slot that into the opening, then rotate the strap to the proper orientation.
Before you begin, carefully remove your method of supporting the tank. If your fuel level is practically empty, you can take off the ratchet strap since there won't be a whole lot of weight. Once removed, use a jack to support the tank and push it back up a little bit. Then remove the pin from one side of the strap, located near the centre of the vehicle by the driveshaft. Then unbolt the remaining side of the strap.

Disconnecting the fuel lines
To disconnect the fuel lines on a 1975 Dart, you will first need to remove the cover and access panel. In some cases, you will need to drain the fuel before removing the access panel. Once the cover is off, you can disconnect the fuel lines.
There are two metal lines from the tank to the front of the car. The larger of the two is the fuel line, which goes from the tank to a short rubber line, and then to a metal fuel line that runs along the passenger side of the car. This line then goes to another short rubber line and into the passenger fender well.
From the fuel pump, there is a metal line that goes up behind the alternator and along the top of the engine to the fuel filter, and then to the carb inlet.
It is important to note that there may be variations in the routing of the fuel lines depending on the specific model and year of the Dart. For example, a 1971 Dart Slant Six has four vent lines coming from the tank, one on each corner, going to a tube that runs into the trunk on the driver's side. This allows fumes to vent from the tank into the tube, and then a line runs from the tube up to the engine compartment.
