Fuel Pump in earlier V8s
John
My fuel pump in my 410 is in the boot as described in Sam's reply. On my 411 which was a mechanical pump but not working properly due to slight wear on the rod and cam we conveted to an electrical pump.
The first attempt with a Holly pump was a disaster, mounted on the boot bulkhead it made more noise than the engine on tick over and low speeds, this was replaced with a Facet pump also bulkhead mounted and much better, just the priming sound before start up. I am told this pump would also work mounted up front near the battery but have not tried that so can't be sure.On my 410 I had the pump rebuilt with an electronic update to do away with the points and I must say it works very well.
