What brand pump are you installing? =20

When I converted my 1960 TR3A to an electric fuel pump I went with a =
Facet mounted below the fuel tank but it was really loud. My local shop, =
British Motorsports, recommended the Hardi fuel pump.  You can mount if =
by the fuel tank or in the engine compartment.  It will push or pull and =
is very quiet.  Initially I installed it in my engine compartment, but =
later on I wanted to install a coolant overflow bottle and needed the =
room, so moved it to the back, so I=E2=80=99ve had it do both.  =
