To quote from the SU work shop manual "Do not mount
the pump in a position exposed to close and direct
heat radiation from the exhaust manifold " So they
put it over the exhaust pipe , if you live in a HOT
area 90F and drive up long hills the gas might start
to boil in the fuel pump , in cool areas it will not
happen .... l moved my SU pump , ref my Tech Talk book
