Holley Sniper 2GC to 2F Install using Mosley Motors adapter (2 Viewers)

[KY Longhunter]

I’m going to start a thread to document the install of a Holley Sniper 2GC to 2F using an adapter I purchased from a vendor here on Mud.

I’m also hoping for some help / advice along the way.

After watching ‘Project Wrong Way’ was left wondering where is the best place to mount fuel pump?

Anybody have suggestions or pictures?

Have you tried contacting Mosley to see what location they generally use?

I put my electric fuel pumps right under the edge of battery.

Here is where I put mine.

Mine sits on the right frame rail, basically inline with the fuel tank.

...

Note, I've since ditched the return hard line for a single run rubber line from the engine compartment to near the rear bulkhead location.

Also, when I get the notion, I'm going to find a better way of attaching it to the frame....but 4 years in, it still works just fine for my needs.

In the tank is best, if you can do the necessary mods. Otherwise, it's best* to mount it below the level of the fuel tank so the pump is never starved of fuel, which is also what cools the pump.

Mine is mounted in what I thought would be the worst possible place: on the outside of the frame in the passenger wheel well. It was temporary at first because I thought it would be exposed to stuff hitting it. But it became more or less permanent as there have been no probs with things hitting it, and it remains easily accessible for replacement when those crappy Bosch pumps fail, which they will if that's what you're using.

* Best ... in terms of cooling and avoiding fuel starvation. But know your tank will drain and create a serious fire hazard if your fuel lines are breached.

Honestly no, but I’m pretty sure they are watching this thread.

BTW, my truck is an ‘81 with tank under the tub.

Here’s where I put mine on a 79. My exhaust is on the other side of the frame rail. I plan to extend my skid plate to provide some protection for it.

Thanks for your photo, this looks extremely clean.

Is this on the outside of DS or PS frame rail ?

I have the Affordable Fuel Injection system - the pump is installed on the frame rail behind the

passenger seat - that seems to be a protected spot and is beneath the gas tank.

It’s driver’s side. It’s a lot more direct on 79+ 40s to route along the driver’s side.

@MOTOV8R what steering setup do you have?

@charliemeyer007 can you upload a picture?

 

[KY Longhunter]

I have factory hardines running along frame rail. I may try to keep these hard lines and mount pump near where they go to soft lines.

@MOTOV8R what steering setup do you have?

FJ60 power steering box, saginaw ps pump, flaming river shaft and joints.
