PO relocated my 74 3-port fuel pump to the rear fire wall to the right of the the speedo cable, fuel lines, flapper wires, etc.
  I've got the fuel tank out to replace the fuel lines with SS ones now, but I don't want to relocate the fuel pump up front if I don't have to (don't like it being below the steering rack). Is this location far enough away from the HE's to avoid problems? |

Another option is to mount the pump beneath the tank, just forward of the reservoir brake lines. Plenty of space, just make sure it's mounted low enough to clear the anti-roll bar, if your car has one.
The downside is access, but the pumps are reliable, and pulling the tank is not that difficult. Just make sure all your hose connections are solid (I double-clamped everything on the high pressure side of the pump). Attached thumbnail(s)
