Electric Fuel Pump Install Chevelle
Looking for some feedback on electric Fuel pumps. I am considering installing one my my father/son project, and I notice that most recommend mounting as close as possible to the fuel tank? Who else is using an electric fuel pump, and can anyone offer-up some photos of how you mounted it?
