MG MGB Technical - fuel pump problems

m y 1980 mgb has just developed a fuel pump problem. Disconnected fuel filter turned key nothing comes out .I would like some help on tracing this circuit electric before going nuts and pulling it out.Ilooked under the car with the wheel off.Can't seem to find where connector is for pump.Is this circuit tied to anything else? It's very strange that all of a sudden it just quit.Your help is gratefully appreciated

Before doing anything expensive, turn the key on and bop the fuel pump with a screwdriver handle. (OK, so you're not into SM --- the points stick in old age and you have to jar them loose).

Let everybody know if you are successful. Followup helps us all.

The connector is in the trunk under a small square metal box right above where the pump is.

I had to take the pump off and sand the points a little
Worked perfect after that.
