looking for ideas about where to install an electric fuel pump. Interested in seeing 68-70 b bodies..Thanks

That's a beautiful set-up with awesome fab-work. Just a little over the top for my needs and budget. I just need to mount a simple electric pump under the car with the original sending unit in place.

You can see it in this picture
Not the most out of site mounting , but with 3" exhaust it leaves little room to hide anything else.

Fed from a sump welded into a stock tank thru about a #12 stainless braided line. Filter is mounted inline prepump - just aft of the pump itself.

Pump is similar to this

I have my Carter electric pump mounted in the axle tunnel. I did not want to drill any new holes so I hade a mounting plate picking up existing holes and installed the pump on that plate. I have it set up with a check valve in parrallel with the pump as I mainly use it to prime the two carbs (stock Hemi) as the fuel tends to evaporate after a week or so...

That line that I can see in the picture is a #10 at best, might be a #8? I don't care for the mounting position of that pump on that car. I mean it's great because it's below the tank where it should be, but it sticks out like a sore thumb. imo Kinda looks like it could be hit down there with something?

The pump fits pretty well in the axle tunnel, even with the Dana 60 taking up extra room. The fitting are #8 or 1/2" size. I just got really tired of having to prime the carbs with gas from a ketchup squirt bottle every time I wanted to start it up - Open the hood, pull the breather, fill the bottle, prime the carbs and start the car, install the breather, shut the hood... All while having to explain my actions to whomever the audience was at the time... Once the car is running the Carter mechanical pump provides plenty of gas. I also did not like having to run the starter for 30 seconds plus to try and start the car. So now I only use it to prime the carbs, it takes maybe 15-20 seconds and I can hear the gas fill into the bowls and the pump changes tone when all is full and pressurized. I turn the pump off, pump the gas pedal twice, and hit the key to fire it up. If gasoline ever gets "better" I can easily remove the pump and lines and put it back to factory correct in about an hour or so. The check valve in parallel allows the mechanical pump to pull past the electric pump direct from the tank. The electric pump pushes the check valve closed and pressurizes the fuel lines through the mechanical pump to up to the carbs. Pretty simple and works great. The Russel fittings got kind of pricey but made the set-up very compact vice using cheap fittings and lots of hose clamps. Probably not for everyone but it works for me. Good luck to the OP.

Mine is not visible from any angle. It's in the tank

Rock Valley make a cool baffle that I use on the EFI system that does not loose prime ( no bowls in an EFI system so it will stall)

Depends a lot on the pump. The vast majority of pumps have to be mounted below the fuel level. I thought that sucked, so I went with a Product Engineering pump. One of the few that can be mounted above the fuel level.
They are nice units.

Jim's set up is top notch.
I dont have pics but I put mine in the area between the outside frame rail and the wheelhouse on the passenger side. It is mounted to the frame rail, is out of the way, quiet and works great. Been there for almost 16 years...!
I am using a Mallory 140 with regulator, feeding into the stock mechanical pump.
