Electric Fuel Pump Guidance

[RedWings69]

I want to eliminate the mechanical fuel pump in my rig after several attempts to eliminate vapor lock on hot days. This would be a new endeavor for me so looking for advice on correct product and set up. I know that I will need a block off plate and I already have a Holley Mighty Mite but from there I am not sure what else would be needed. The correct wiring is where I am need of the most help as I want to make sure its as safe as possible.

There are so many articles and posts out there so if someone can guide me to the most educational and current for a newbie.

This is the best way to wire electric fuel pumps, but this diagram shows several options. Always start with the relay in the left panel, then choose the pump that fits your application.

The best physical location for an electric fuel pump is either inside the tank (if it's made for that), or as close to the tank as possible AND as low as possible (so it doesn't have to lift the gas out of the tank before pushing it to the engine. Just make sure your pump doesn't put out so much pressure that it overwhelms the carburetor needle valve.
