What do you all think of this location for mounting my new pump in the front?
Besides space, I have some other goals: 1. Avoiding mounting on any sheet metal shared with the passenger compartment. 2. As much protection as possible. 3. Short fuel line runs between the tank, filter, pump, and hard lines. 4. Access to the lines without pulling the tank. 5. Access to the pump without pulling the tank. My proposed location probably does not satisfy goal 5 (maybe), but otherwise I like it. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Those are some great shots of pump relo's. I'm just getting into my new BB and found that the pump relo looks pretty sketchy. I have a lot of other things to address first but will get to the pump reset before too long. As things sometime happen, I've only driven the car around my shop building and not on the road. Have the brakes out and off to PMB for rebuild and a cryoclean guy coming out this week to give it a bottom cleaning.
My fuel pump is below the tank, next to the master cylinder, I've attached a pic. IMO it's got way too much going on with lines and wires and zip ties for me to be confident of the install. The electrical feed is coming from below the engine compartment through the tunnel. I need to at least redo the connectors. Is there a better way to power the pump? Thank for any input.
