If fuel injected- Central Fuel Injection, as I think it was, the electric pump should be in the gas tank. If still carbureted, it will have a mechanical fuel pump on the engine.
This model should be fuel injected, therfore the pump is in the tank. The pump is accessed by a round plate in side of tank hear the differential cover. The outer ring turns counterclockwise to remove. If the tank has more than 1/4 of of fuel you will get covered in full. Be safe!!

Fig. 2 Fuel pump mounting on station wagon models
Some early models and all turbocharged or fuel injected cars are
equipped with an electric fuel pump. On the early models the fuel pump
is mounted in the trunk on sedans and hardtops and in the left rear
wheel housing on station wagons. On the turbocharged Colt and fuel
injected Vista, the fuel pump is in the gas tank. On the Conquest, it is
on the frame rail, behind the left rear wheel, and on later models is
located on the fuel tank.

On late Conquest models, the fuel pump is tank mounted. It is
necessary to remove the fuel tank for fuel pump service. Refer to the
Colt/Vista procedure. Hope helped.
IT might be either in the boot on top of tank OR on the rear of tank,
If on rear then drain at least 1/2 the tank out before undoing the clip ring which turns to the l/h/ to undo use a small piece of copper or brass or even good piece of timber but not steel ..
Undo and take out pump and filter To check pump wipe clean and dry and let it dry out for about 1/2 hr before fitting battery power to it for checking and if dont sound good straight away or the filter is dirty then new one is the answer..
REPLACE IT in the reverse of removal and make sure that the petrol pipes are fitted tight.
When you take the pipes off the back of pump then fit something in pipes to stop the loss of petrol .
