Oh clever ones,
I am planning the fuel system on a stock 1500 motor with header.
So far I have a Pierce manifold and Weber 32/36 downdraft setup in hand and
a hard fuel line that ends at the lower rear engine bay near the old
mechanical fuel pump location.
I have a mechanical fuel pump block off plate as I do not intent to use the
pulsing mechanical stock pump. My intention is to use a Carter 4070 fuel
pump which will produce high volume (to keep the float bowl full) low
pressure (4-6 PSI continuous duty) which is recommended for the 32/36
downdraft.
My question is pump about location. I commonly have placed pumps on Healeys
(big and little) in the rear under the car near and below the tank outlet.
I do not want to put the pump down there since getting to it is a major pain
for me (besides not wanting to cut the solid line). I will also forego a
pressure regulator
Where shall I put the pump?
1) Engine bay driver's side.
2) Where the charcoal canister used to be.
3) ??
How much of a concern is having the pump 4 feet down the hard-line from the
fuel source?
Shouldn't the pump be located as low as possible?
hummmmm
