1985 amc 2.5L electric fuel pump
I recently traded for a 85 cherokee with the AMC 2.5L carbureted engine.
it does not have a mechanical fuel pump. the block isn't machined for it.
hard to find any pics/info on the low pressure electric fuel pump.
the original pump ,fuel filter are gone. not sure where the pump was mounted.
the feed line runs along the back of the firewall . PO had a higher pressure pump mounted on the firewall with a pressure regulator . runs very rich. loads up at idle. he had the return line hooked into the regulator. any info would be appreciated.

Check the fuel pressure, 3-3 1/2 lbs . And elect. fuel pumps work better pushing fuel instead of pulling it, it should be in the back.
Theres a site just for the 2.5. Its called 4banger.com. Lots of good people and info there.
