Holley Red

Lets see where you guys mounted your Holley Style Pumps. I need to find a place to mount mine since I just took my TBI pump out and dont know a good location to bolt it 2.

I have mine mounted in front of the gas tank.
You now when you enter the car ,the big flat piece that your two rear seat rests are against(in between floor and trunk) on the outside side of that is where i mounted mine.
There is plenty of room to mount it 360* anyway and there is absolutely no chasis/suspension interference.

Here's where I've put my Holley black pump, recently installed a red pump right above it for the nitrous system. Redoing all the lines with steel braided stuff soon.

Good **** thx guys, now I gotta question about the old intank pump. The white wire is the 12 volt source im guessing? Black is ground? And the purple is i donno and shouldnt concern me. That right? Cuz imma clip that white wire that goes into the tank and just re route it 4 the new fuel pump. Do i have that down right?

You must have the pump as close to the tank as possible, it is correct the pumps push fuel, not pull.

No need to put a sump in the tank for it to work.

Where could I mount it thats close enough to the tank yet I dont have to drill, cuz i dont have a drill at hand. Might be able to borrow one from somebody but if i dont have 2 id rather not. I wasted a whole day today cuz i thought it pulled strong enough to mount it in the engine bay

Better get to borrowing because the rear of the car is about the only place with the clearance. Don't forget, this type of pump has to be mounted upright.
