where is a good place to mount an electric fuel pump(holly red) on a 65 coupe?

Mine is mounted under my gas tank, just behind the axle.

Don't forget to install an inertia switch.

its always a good idea to put a fuel filter between the tank and pump, and then again before the carb. especially if your fuel tank is original.

by the way, are all holley reds super loud? im going to mount mine in wiper motor bushings and see if its better-but right now its very loud.

Most electric pumps are pretty noisy. Especially the lower pressure ones which tend to operate at a lower frequency.

Mounting makes all the difference in the world. I used rubber-insulated clamps along with a rubber-foam sleeve to mount my pump and you can still hear it clearly.

You really want to mount the electric pump near the tank. Typically the electric pumps are better at pushing as to where the mechanical pumps are better at pulling.
