    fuel pump/reg. and filter mounting

     



    I am pretty sure this is NOT the way to do it, looks prett scary. But it is a simular setup to mine as far as cell/pump/filter brand -(Summit 15 gal. foam filled fuel cell/Holley 140GPH and Fram can type)+ styles are concerned. How are you drag/pro street guys doing it? A pic would be great. I know the 4# to 9# regulator should be at least 6" away from the firewall and as my Nova has no inner fenders its placement might be a problem as well.

    Yep, scary for sure. I would be surprised if it passed tech, but maybe just street driven with all that stuff for looks.

    Filter should be first, before the electric pump also. Electric pumps hate dirt. The filter also needs solidly bolted to the frame, not just hanging there by the hose.

    This wasn't my final fuel filter choice, I ended up with one of the chrome Fram units too.

    I'm not one of those Drag/ProStreet guys, but I made a bracket that bolted to the frame rail in front of the fuel tank.
