electric fuel pump with stock gas tank

I'm far from an expert, but here are my thoughts:

1. I agree with someone above, that location looks like you're gonna smack the pump with the axle.

2. I ran that type of pump when my car was carb'd. My understanding is that holley sells their pumps(that don't quite meet the holley specs) to summit/jegs to rebrand and sell. I had mine mounted in the engine bay and it never had issues, other than being painfully loud.

3. 8an is a large hose, did you buy a pump that may be too weak for that size of hose?

4. Would not be a bad idea to pull the filter and try to see if it still has the trouble.
