I would like to put a electric fuel pump on my 73 scamp, they tell me the pump has to be lower then the tank....where would a good location be ?

unless you really have to have an electric fuel pump, like for FI, or you have a 600hp engine, do you really need one? I've put an external to tank fuel pump on several vehicles, and I've been disappointed every time. Unless they are inside the tank they're pretty noisy, and if you run low on fuel and go around a clover leaf, you can kill them.I would like to put a electric fuel pump on my 73 scamp, they tell me the pump has to be lower then the tank....where would a good location be ?
it's this simple.As close to the tank and as low as possible. Preferably on the inside of one of the rear frame rails.
Is that plain enough?

if you're determined to go electric fuel pump, I agree in the tank is best.In the tank. That's best.

there have been several articles in car mags covering this. I believe there are two companies offering retrofit packages for stock tanks. I think there is also some company offering new repro fuel tanks for some (probably the most popular) mopar apps with internal electric fuel pump capability.Exaclty how is this done when running a carb and a stock fuel tank?

years ago, Carter offered a package with an electric pump, and a mech pump together, so I assume it will work together. Now, whether you could use the electric to refill the lines, turn it off, and then run with just the mechanical, I dunno. I don't think you could pull fuel thru a non-running rotary pump with a mech pump, but like I said, don't know for sure.Watching this thread. My Demon is hard to start after setting a couple days. Would it be advisable to install a remote switch so pump is not always on or would it cause too much of a restriction for the mechanical pump to overcome adequately?

I thought the in tank recommendations here were mean to offer a quieter alternative, eliminate most of the noise, but obviously not the cheaper route. I'd rather hear it running, and also double check that it shut off when it gets nice and quiet.
**** ^Yeah, exactly. The dude loves spendin other peoples' money. It's $$$$$$$ just like crackedback said.
Stick with an inline pump, in the inside of the frame rail as low and as close to the tank as possible. Simple, cheap and effective. Tons of factory applications didit through the years and still do and they had zero problems moving fuel.
You can either listen to those trying to help within a realistic budget, or chase your tail with costly BS. ^
ur choice.
Tanks Inc. Everything you need except lines for around $500 bucks. Think about it. Every new car made since God knows has had an in tank pump.Exaclty how is this done when running a carb and a stock fuel tank?
