You're still thinking carbs here. The DeLorean engine will not flood if 
you push the pedal while cranking

I have a photo of it :-) I'm awaiting a confirmationof the price to us

The CPR does not cause a "loss of fuel pressure". To explain how the 
K-Jet system works will take a while and it quite complex. However 
suffice to say the control pressure sets the mixture for given engine 
conditions (load and temperature) and is relative to engine speed. 
Unlike the CO screw which is not relative to engine speed. But the 
primary pressure regulator which is part of the metering head sets the 
absolute pressure of the system and the control pressure then fools 
around with how much the metering flap deflects for a given volume of 
air........ I could go on...

If you mean behind the pulley, then it's the pump itself. If behind the 
actual pump, under the intake manifold, then it's quite likely to be the 
hoses or the pipe feeding the pump.
