That is exactly my layout, right in front of the gas tank, couple inches above the bottom of the tank to clear the exhaust.

In fairness to Holley, the layout had like this in the past used a parts store copy of the Holley unit and not a Holley branded pump. That may have been part of the issue. Back then, it was a $25 pump. Since the alcohol compatible units now are over $200, and the units suggested further above are nearing $500, I'd really hate to repeat the failure.
