im gonna be building uo my engine this week ready to fit the weekend and few questions i have 1st off were do i get the feed to fuel pump and were is best to fit it cheers all !!
Its main attraction is that it's convenient . As I recall, the feed to the coil is 2.5mm2, so reasonably hefty. Stick an 8 amp fuse on it to start with: must fuse the pump, as if it goes pear-shaped, you don't want it burning the ignition wiring out.
brill that 1 prob out the way cheers men !! will be a few more post this week so im 100% when fitting the engine !!
I have fitted my posi flo to the gearbox hanger on the LH side of the engine bay with 2 rivnuts. also mounted it on rubber bobbins. I will take some pics tomorrow if you want.

Good thinking. Don't want your pump running after a shunt. PS Seem to recall that older Fords used to have a crash switch (I assume a ball bearing in a switch) that shut the pump off if you were involved in a collision.
you want to try to keep the pump as close to the tank outlet as possible but make sure you fit a pre filter before the pump.....another handy device is a fuel shut off valve. you can get fancy and fit a solenoid if your fitting twins (to prevent siphoning) or you can just stick a manual valve in somewhere...before the pre filter allows you to change without draining off the fuel, after the pump but before the carb allows you to fit another disposable filter before the carb...and if you're serious about it....think about fitting a fuel water separator...works as a serviceable 10 micron filter and is good for vehicles that may be laid up with E10 fuel in the tank slowly absorbing water... . vehicle wiring products...£12
