Electric fuel pump location on 1965 coupe
As it turned out, the second pump DID NOT fail but t was rather the ignition condenser which in turn took out the ORIGINAL 59 year old coil
I know these pumps are designed to push not pull. My mechanic says there is no space under the car at the tank to locate it safely and mounted it at the right rear of the engine compartment on the frame rail. He said this is lower than the fuel tank outlet so it is gravity feed to the pump. However I have had 2 new pumps fail in the last two weeks. The second one was a Carter and don’t recall the maker of the 1st one.
Any suggestions from members that have had a similar problem?
