RPM Limiter Switch

We have been trying to help a Pelican with a fuel pump issue in his 83 Targa and are narrowing things down to a possible faulty RPM limiter switch.

I have no experience with this switch and don't even know it's location. Could someone with knowledge and experience please post where to find the switch?

If you could post to the thread directly, that would be appreciated. fuel pump relay

US SCs had the RPM limiters behind the tach. Euro SCs had them in the rotor of the distributor.

I will cross post as well.

Can anyone explain why the difference?
