electric fuel pump regulator location ideas

[hemi68charger]

Hey gang..
Helping another friend out there. I'm looking for suggestions on the location of a regulator for an electric fuel pump. He's going bye-bye with the mechanical version. He's got a stroker hemi in his '69 Charger R/T. He'll obviously be getting a fuel pump block off. Where are nice, neat out of the way locations you all have tried. It's a street car, so it'll be a case of setting it once and being done with it for awhile. I was thinking somewhere down by the original mechanical pump, but frozen in the idea category on how to mount it. The electric fuel pump will more than likely be mounted aft by the tank. Would prefer not to drill any more holes in the inner sheetmetal...

Thanks..
Troy

Could you use one of the mounting bolts for the original fuel pump and mount it up with the block-off plate? Maybe bend up a small bracket to make it look good

Right in front of the carb, as seen here



Could fab up a bracket to use on of the intake bolts for support, but i doubt youll need it.

Throw an elbow on the dual line that goes to the carb, run it to the regulator, and just run that other line to the other side of it..done.

These work nice for a clean install

Oooh I like that! But looks like thats about where the coil sits in this case. Might be low enough to clear though. I'd probably go FLG's route, lots easier to get to than my original suggestion, plus it looks real nice on that bitchin' motor

I located mine to the inner frame rail below the alternator.  It's out of the way, accessible, and not too visible.

for every inch the fuel has to travel 'up' it looses approx 1 psi of pressure.

Promax told me to mount it as close to the carb as possibile

That's the same place I mounted mine.

As bill said as close to the carb as possible

yes closer the better for true accurate pressure settings   ... I think it's quite a bit more than 1" rise to effect it much, much more I would think...  But closer is much better

Sure about your numbers?

37" vertical column of gasoline = 1 psi

Mine is mounted near the carb.

Yep, meant to type 1 psi loss for every 1 ft the fuel has to climb vertical ( not 1 inch )

I mounted mine right in front of the carb.  I was sure to use as many types, and colors of fittings and braided line as possible. So I get an extra eleventybillion and one horse powers.

Remember, were ever you choose to mount the regulator & route your fuel lines make sure they both are kept cool as possible... Every little bit helps

I've mounted them on the rear china wall using a stand-off bracket - then route the fuel line down the transmission bellhousing and use the bolts to mount those rubber isolated clamps - then tun the other side up to the carb along the passenger side - still accessable but out of the way - 

[Ghoste]

You got me on this one, what is a "China wall"?

[Rolling_Thunder]

the vertical front or rear wall that encloses the lifter valley - The area that has the three holes for the retaining plate to old down the lifter valley plate / gasket.
