 I know that on the later 3rd gen fbodies, even carbeurated, they had
 electric fuel pumps.  You may have an electric fuel pump in your car
 as well.  If you have a mechanical pump, it will be attached to the
 front on the motor on the passenger side, in which case it's probably
 not a fuel pump relay :)

I do have a mechanical fuel pump, and it's attached to the right side of the
engine block.  But, the manual's electical wiring do show a fuel pump relay
going to that fuse.  This is what I'm tryng to figure out.
