Re: where to mount holley electric fuel pump

These pumps are designed to push the fuel, not pull it.... Mount it in the rear for best results.....

DITTO, follow the directions. Or buy some $20 autostore one so when it burns out early it won't hurt so bad in the wallet.

Re: where to mount holley electric fuel pump

Did you ever mount it? If so where? I need to do mine this week and I am still unsure on the exact placement of the thing.
