Hey all...In the process of installing an electric fuel pump (I have my reasons) and trying to determine the best location to tie into the main fuel line. I mention Carter type as it come assembled with the inline filter and I need about 12" of space. Anyone have any tips on this?

Another question....I plan to by-pass the mechanical fuel pump all together, if I am capping the mounting location I need to remove the rod as well correct?

Thanks for your tips in advance....ez

I think the carter inline pump with the filter is a low performance pump in my opinion. I would suggest the carter 4070 pump for your application. There is or was a member on this forum that mounted his pump on his c3 back behind the license plate. You may find another pump similar to the carter long cylinder type that is more of a high performance pump. My buddy has a c3 with that type and is mounted on the pass side frame just behind the pass seat area. I do not recall what brand of pump he is using but the first one failed in 2 months. I have had the 4070 pumps on two different performance vehicles for over 10 years with zero problems.

Are you planning on using the return line?

there's a lot of room inside the rear guard above the chasis rail.

Yes its true and that is where I put mine. I have no idea why my photo disappeared, have started using a new browser and the photo showed up in the preview. Here is my second try




Aaargh, now its there in the original post - anyway this is an ideal placement for you

Very clean set up for sure, What fuel pump did you use??

That is the smaller Edelbrock deadheaded to a Holley Ultra. I forget who actually manufactures this for them but so far it has been reliable, and dead on 6 psi. My plan is an upgrade using the return line but so far, "if it ain't broke…."

I dead head my carter 4070 on my 460 Ranchero and my 455 gto and have had no issues.

I had placed mine on the passenger side floor board, it was loud and a PITA because of the prepump filter, when i rebuilt the enine i took the time to move it to in tank and it is much quieter.

Dont know if this will work for you since my rear is obviously different
