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.
