All,
About to mock up stock tank (w/sump)
Would like ideas and or pics of electric fuel pump and filter mounting under the back of the car.
"Thinking" about making an aluminum plate with shock mounted studs to the underside and mounting the pump and filter on that???
Thanks in advance!!

Wally.
 
This is how I did my fuel system 68 Barracuda.

Considering the red wire is hanging in the air I'd say no?

But when you hook that sucker up I'd say,

Dose the pope carry a bible?
Is a frogs *** water tight?
Dose a bear **** in the woods?

I disconnected that thing a year-and-a-half ago! It drove me absolutely bonkers! The noise that thing makes is so loud I can hear it over my headers with glass-packs kicking out the side! I mean that thing sounds like a freaking airplane landing in your trunk! As you can see mine has been disconnected and by past for a simple Edelbrock electric pump. With dual quads there's so much Reservoir in the carburetors that I've never found myself out of fuel..

EF,, that loud *** thing!
 
If you have to use it I recommend a very elaborate sound deadening box...

A couple questions.
Why the regulator just out of the tank?
Why drill through the frame, why not just run them on the inside frame rail up to the front?
Why run the line up the inner wheel well? I thought that was dangerous (debris/tire failure)

Definitely not knocking any of your work, you’ve done amazing work for sure.
Just wondering thoughts behind your process.
Thanks for the pics!

1- The regulator is on the return line before the tank
2- If I grenade a trans, I'd rather have the line on the outside.
3- Ran braided line up the inner fender and it is shielded.

Is there an advantage to having the regulator on the return line?
I always thought you wanted it regulated just before the carb?
Understood on the trans exploding, and understand now going up the inner wheel well.
Nice work, definitely gave me some ideas, I really appreciate the replies!

No it doesn't matter where you mount the regulator in the system. As long as your using the right regulator. This is the one in the picture.
Holley 12-803BP Carbureted Bypass Fuel Pressure Regulator
 
Remember being at a car show and someone talking about running the regulator on the backside of the carburetor? As in an Edelbrock and tapping an exit hole on the opposite side of where the fuel enters. Running the regulator on the backside of that so that there is a constant cool fuel running through there? Sounded doable..
 
That is how I have mine.......Tank , filter , pump at the rear of the tank. -8 to carb with regulator past the end of the carb , and gauge and return plumbed off of the regulator. The return line runs out of the bottom of the regulator , the gauge off of the front port.
Not a great pic , but you can see the regulator hiding behind the accumulator.

I modified mine to run as a bypass regulator, that way I'm always moving fuel.

Although after talking to so.e guys with realy fast cars they said they didn't see and change in ET when going from dead head to by pass.

I did have vapor lock once and it was in a terrible location really pissing off a lot of tourists who vented their frustration on my by honking and giving me the one finger salute.. (like I chose to break down in that spot...)

Bottom line is fuel in.
Right side is return.
Left side hard line is carb feed.

Gauge plumbed inline to carbs.

I had that same fram filter but when I went to a cell I had to change to a smaller diameter filter.

And no, my roll cage is not just floating in the air. It's on out riggers off the frame.
 
Got my tank back today.
Now comes the fun!
Thank you

Here's how I did mine. Never done it before. Not perfect but it supplies the fuel to where it needs to go.

Really nice work!!
Is there any NHRA/IHRA rule about fuel line on the inside of the frame rail?
Thanks so much for posting pics - I’m getting a lot of good ideas from all of these.
