Those of you that frequent these pages might know that I've been having issues getting enough fuel to the carb during my infrequent trips to the drag strip. Maybe you didn't know that. Now you do. Anyway.....

After some soul searching and after having an actual idea, I decided I would install an electric fuel pump and a better filter. I decided on a Carter P4070 for the pump because it seemed like to me that 72gph would be more than enough and I went with the Fram HPG-1 because it was capable of filtering more fuel than my engine could use and waaaaay more than the inline canister filter I was using.

My idea was on how to mount everything. I didn't really want to drill any holes in the car to make this work. While rolled up under the car one evening it came to me. Mount a piece of angle (aluminum) from tank strap bolt to tank strap bolt and put everything on that. If it will fit. I turned to Google and after a little searching came back with the exact measurements of both the Carter and the Fram filter. Mocking up a piece of angle and doing a little further measuring confirmed that both pieces would fit. I used a piece of 1" X 1" aluminum angle, .125" thick. I settled on 22" long. I put the Carter on the passenger side and the Fram on the driver. Fuel comes out of the tank pickup line, turns and goes under the Fram, straight through it and straight to the Carter, out of the Carter and under it and straight up the original fuel line. Maybe 3 to 3.5 feet of additional fuel line were added? The differential slides neatly up in between the fuel system parts with room to spare.

And you can't see any of it unless you are laying on the ground.
