If I can't flip it off after a wreck, then screw it, I couldn't think of a better place to be when I go.lol! I didn't think of that one, just have a manual switch for pump handy to driver area. Nice work on the inertia/kill switch thing. ( I have a few more pics of this setup I can post if you guys DON'T think I'm crazy mounting it here.lol.) mount, but you can't see mine when the wheels are on, you can hear the **** out o' it.(holley blue's are like that) and I have even installed an extra chrome heat shielf in between right tail pipe and my tank to pump filter that sits behind pump. My pump sits about the same level as your bump. Have taken a couple 50+mph 90 deg turns with it to the left and haven't bothered the pump one bit. I run 17 x9 cobra R's with about a 3/4-1" drop on my suspension. Of course, if I get hit where my pump is at, my filler neck is there anyways so I'm not technically adding another "vulnerable point" to my vehicle. I think you guys have a couple bolts loose on your rear bumper pumps. I also wired the pump using a relay, a oil pressure safety switch (kills the pump if the engine stalls), and a 'crash' (inertia) switch (kills the pump if the car is hit).īolting the fuel pump to the rear bumper may not work out so well if you are ever rear ended.I'm so glad I didn't have to be the first one to mention this. I used a right angle fitting on the pump outlet as the outlet hose needs to go up to the carb. The pump inlet is to the left (rear) and the outlet to the carb is to the right (forward). For reference you can see the lower radiator hose just to the right (forward) of the pump and in the forground is the PS pump pulley (this car does NOT have AC). The pic is looking down from above the pump. Here is a pic (not the greatest) of a Holley red pump mounted on the drivers side frame rail. The only thing about the Holley pump is its a bit loud. I used the original line from the tank and just ran a new hose from the line's outlet on drivers side near the firewall (below the master cylinder) to the pump on the drivers side frame rail mounted with two 1/4 sheet metal screws and the bracket Holley provided. The front frame rail is below the level of the tank and the pump will be gravity fed. Ive run like that for 10+ years with NO problems. I would keep it low, mount it to the frame rail in the engine compartment near the fuel lines as they come from the tank.+1
