Show me your fuel pumps...

Thinking about swapping my mechanical pump for the Carter rotary electric thingie.

I believe these are best installed up front near the tank.
Any recommended spots? places to avoid? anybody have a pic of their installation?

passenger side under tank, about where master cyclinder is on drivers side. be sure to put filter before pump

I fastened mine to the bracket between the front beam and the body.

I have a 3-lb. Facet pump, with a filter between it and the fuel cell.

This is the pump that I am currently using: http://www.pbase.com/mdlempert/pump

Mike sells these mostly for use in big Healeys, but this works well in my car. The CB Perf. rotary got gummed up by (I assume) the ethanol in most gasolines now. This is supposedly resistant to ethanol. I can take a picture of the installation in a day or two if you're interested.

I had a Facet like Cory's in a '65 MG Midget, and it worked flawlessly for years.

The Fed. Gvt. confiscated my fuel pump and shipped it to Japan.....Its OK, as fuel is way over $3.50/gal.

Those little Facet "wood pecker" pumps are great, I've only had one fail in 6,000 years, but it failed on the way to a VW show two states away. The Holley blue pump (with regulator) is nuke proof, however, and a good price.

Of course, mount almost any pump as close to the tank as possible, bulkhead or front pan on rubber feet with a braided (flexible) ground wire.

Leon, was yours a Kerswill Pump?

geeze, thanks guys. Great info. That ought to get me on the right track.

I'm SERIOUSLY thinking of putting one of these street rod fuel filters in my car this Spring.

I can mount it between the tank and the pump where it's more-or-less easy to get at to service, it filters down to 10 microns and it should last forever.

Now THAT'S a filter!
