I have a Holley blue electric fuel pump that I would like to install in my 75 v-8 conversion. I am trying to decide the best location to install it.
Choice 1: Install it near the stock location up front in the trunk mounting it on the wall that encloses the gas tank facing inward towards the trunk for easy accessibility. Gravity fed from tank and regulated up front also so the lines going back to the carb are only pressurized to 5lbs. Wiring is already there. + easy install and wiring is already there - lines pressurized length of car + cooler in front trunk, even with radiator, than engine compartment Choice 2: Install it in the engine compartment somewhere on the passenger side. The pump would be gravity fed the length of the car and then pressurized and regulated in the engine bay. I would have to run a wire for to power it up. + gravity fed so lines are not under pressure in tunnel - not sure if pump will work as well trying to pull rather than push - hotter in engine compartment What would be the better approach? Thanks Attached image(s)

that pump is not a high pressure pump, so no worries on the stock plastic lines there rated at much higher than the holley will put out. it's volume that the holley does good. get a regulator that is ment for a return system and run it right up to the carb.
that holley is good but the generic jeggs and summit will do fine and at 30 % discount. |
