    Looking to mount an electric fuel pump -- Airtex inline vane or solenoid pump. Any thoughts as to the best place to cleanly mount the pump. There isn't much frame under there to get it lower than the tank! Installation needs to be clean I do not want a box hanging behind the diff.

    Any advise is appreciated!

    do you run a EFI system? or have a special regulator to bring down the PSI to carb levels?

    if you look inside the trunk and see how it is inset, my pumps mounted to the drop of that above the outlet on the tank..it is quite loud though. due to brand of pump and location.

    I've ran this pump regulated to 5-7 lbs. (carb) it's now feeding 60 PSI to my MSD Atomic EFI.
