Level to a bit of a drop, they are not lift pumps, close to
the source. 60’s style electric fuel pumps pulled better than pushed....new
style pumps push better than pump..meaning better fluid delivery

I
always liked keeping it about the same level as the hose on the tank. You may
also like to enlarge the mounting holes in the mounting bracket. I always do
that and use two really short pieces of rubber fuel hose with my mounting bolts
inside of the hose. That would make the rubber hose contact the inside of the
mounting holes, instead of just a bolt. A lot of vibration is eliminated
. Those pumps make a lot of noise, and running the mounting bolts in rubber
hose really quieten it down. Jimmy

Thanks, Jimmy. Is it
best to try to keep it low and not above the tank if possible? Or is
that not as crucial as some say?
Thanks,

You can reduce the fittings. Another location I always liked was where
the exhaust pipe hanger mounts in the "hump" area. Jimmy

I'm working on installing an electric fuel pump back by the
tank. The pump I have has 3/8" inlet and outlet fittings, but my fuel
lines are 5/16". Is it ok to adapt down to the 5/16" line from the
pump? Will that affect the pressure? The pump should put out 6
lb of pressure.
I'm also trying to find the best location to mount it. I think
I'll end up putting it inside the far rear passenger side frame rail just
before the rear bumper (on the opposite side of the bumper bracket
struts). It'll be at the back corner of the tank. It'll be visable from behind, but
I don't really mind that. I don't see another place I like better that
keeps it low and stays away from the rear suspension.
Opinions please.
Thanks
