I am installing a new fuel pump and regulator on my warmed up A motor. I am struggling with the locations and routing of everything. Does anyone have any suggestions keeping safety and looks in mind? Pictures would be great Thanks

On my 1950 Studebaker I run a 12 volt Holley on my 6 volt battery with a 1 ohm 50 watt resistor in the power wire, so this puts out the perfect couple pounds pressure with no pressure regulator needed. -
Suppliers have a pump that's "hidden" inside the frame rail, at the center of the hood. Mounts on the hood bumper bolt.

If you got the kit, pump and filter with fuel lines, there should have been a clamp with it that fits around the pump. I used the 1/4" bolt that holds the splash apron and fender just inside of my hood shelf.Comment

Here's how I mounted mine:
Fuel pump is mounted with a clamp (that came with the pump) to the underside of the frame in the center near the hood bumper, the regulator is mounted to the frame using a bolt for the front hood latch.Alaskan A's

For those of you that have a Weber kit, was there any specifications included with the electric fuel pump included in the kit? I bought my Weber kit used at a garage sale earlier this year so I have no idea how old it is. I'm not sure if the 90 degree heat had something to do with it a couple days ago, but I'm sure my electric pump failed. At first I thought probably a screen or the inline filter...11-24-2017, 03:31 AM -
I run a stock '29 RPU and due to a hole in original tank I am running a tank in the bed of the truck. I had a cheap in line pump that died after 150 miles so stepped up to a Carter P4259. It works great but is noisy as hell. Any way to quiet this pump down??11-11-2018, 04:13 PM

So until I can buy another tank I have a T'ish cylinder tank in the bed of truck. I have mounted the tank and have secured the fuel pump on pass frame channel close to tank as possible underneath. I have a 30amp inline fuse off the "-" side of battery to the fuel pump and grounded fuel pump. I will later tonight mount cutoff fuel valve near carb inside frame and I have a toggle switch to...08-04-2018, 04:19 PM

I want to install a new diaphragm in my 1934 fuel pump. I have the pump in two sections but need help in getting the old diaphragm out. Any suggestions?03-24-2018, 10:50 AM -
Well the painter was sanding a rough area on tank....gas came out. Rust911 took it down to the best solid metal but the tank was to far gone in one area so he is filling that and make it look good and paint. Instead of chasing down a '29 tank that's worth a damn I'm going with a bed mount tank in the truck...maybe a stainless round tank mounted to truck bed. How hard are fuel pump installs? Never...07-28-2018, 06:39 PM

can you use the glass fuel bowl if you are using a fuel pump installed BEFORE the fuel bowl. Or do you install the pump after?...05-04-2017, 08:30 PM -
My fuel pump has the number 523307 stamped on it and the sediment drain is only a screw and not a wing nut type? Any ideas?03-26-2018, 11:01 AM

Let's try this again...
Call me crazy, insane, or just plain bonkers, I AM an electronics Wizard, have been since 1975 when I started my second electronics job repairing stereos and CB radios. I have been and always will be a gadget freak, so naturally, I rewired my Model A to 12v neg chassis. Also I likes LEDs.png "smile")
Now, because we are now 12v, the next step in this...07-23-2017, 10:43 PM -
Can someone who used a sump pump to flush there engines out for rust tell me what size motor your pump had. If I go this route I want to be sure it will be powerful enough to do the job. Thanks07-18-2018, 07:13 PM
