Sumner,
I mounted mine in the trunk, in the spare tire well againgst the
front bulkhead. It's lower than the bottom of the tank. My routing
runs the line through a Fram competition fuel filter ahead of the
pump. There's a length of rubber tubing ahead of the filter so I
can clamp off the fuel should the pump need changing at some future
date. The rest of the fuel line is steel until it gets to the
engine compartment where it's braided flex line to the Rochester
breakdown regulator and then on to the carbs (which were adapted
for AN fittings)
I've heard of people munting them on frame rails
