Holley Electric Fuel Pump Install Tip! Use studs in the block, tighten with crowfoot wrench!

I have put this pump on my engine a number of times and it's usually been a major pain in the derriere.
The problem was that the hold down bolts for the bracket to the engine block, would be interfered with by the pinch bolt that keeps the pump in the bracket.
And to compound things, if I was installing it with the engine in place, the reaching was an additional pain.
Well, studding the block and installing to the block with nuts was a big help because it removed the issue of starting bolts in cramped space.
And reaching in with a crowfoot made turning the nuts much less trouble.

That pump is louder than the engine itself 😂😂

[@jon-uc8th]

Lol love the fact you bolted an electric pump right where the mechanical pump goes. I see an oil leak In Your future. 😂

[@3Repete]

It's been 2 years...and it actually is so far behind the (boat) tank that it's partway down the depth of fuel. It's further helpful that there's a fuel return system so the fuel stays cool.

[@joshuagarvey9362]

Mount it close to gas tank.

[@Noah-ye5hb]

I thought when using an electric fuel pump you mount it close and lower to the fuel tank otherwise your pump will be short lived?

[@3Repete]

True. In my Marine app it is those things. In a car, you are right. Thanks for noticing.

[@marcoafigueroa1943]

Yes close to the tank

[@94.s10]

Shouldn't you use a block off plate?

[@3Repete]

Engine is not drilled there. It has no fuel pushrod hole. And I put the pump there to get it down low while still staying on the engine.

[@A_Litre_of_Farva]

stupid idea. Electric pumps like to push, not pull.

[@lynnh7694]

That is mounted to high guy .

[@3Repete]

Well, in this boat the fuel pump is behind and below the tank. But yeah, wrong in a car. I should have said where it was. i was so happy about how it turned out that I forgot the most obvious part. It's been 3 years. Working well...

Get rid of that loud ass thing. Horrible device.

[@ちくてぬしくけて]

Very true! I switched to the red, and it's so much quieter than this one.

That blue I can hear from a block away

@BlazeTheCatFirePrincess Red is loud too. Go with a Carter pump.

That pump is Installed wrong coming from a 34 year old that reads and takes instructions correctly

[@HorsepowerHouse]

@@jgpa3z nah, I had several of these pumps, all installed perfectly to-the-T, still loud as hell. No thanks. Carter pump is far better.
