Hi all, Just looking for advice and insights on mounting a Facet fuel pump on my '75 Spider as it came with a really awful, noisy unit which had been poorly mounted in the engine compartment adjacent to the Weber cards together with a small single in-line fuel filter. I have bought the Facet along with a Malpassi Filter King regulator.
Facet seem to recommend mounting the pump close to the fuel tank, so does anyone have a suggestion of where, and I understand it is best mounted vertically. Also any insights on the electrical supply for that would be appreciated. I am not being lazy, just looking for advice and best practice.
The regulator I plan to mount where the existing fuel pump is in the engine compartment, as that will give me an easy feed into the carbs.
Any other topics, suggestions, 'do's or don'ts' will be appreciated to save knuckles, temper or the swear box...
By the way, the original mechanical fuel pump is still on the engine, but I plan to remove that and buy a blanking plate for it. I assume there is no 'tricks' to doing that either.
Many thanks!
