While your at it, why not move the pump to the front.
Some of the problems with the "under the battery" location:
1) Fuel gets hot & can cause vapor loc (although I never had this problem)
2) fuel pump can get corroded from battery acid & fuel lines too
3) it's pretty easy to install
4) much easier to change the fuel filter in the future
5) The fuel lines under the battery area will be much neater & cleaner looking.
6) It's really cool.
I managed to get the whole set up from a 1976 donor car & so, I got the factory cover for the front hole that you must cut out. As far as wiring, I got the wire from the '76 but trying to get an orig wire to run thru the orig harness is next to impossible. I eventually tapped into my existing wiring to my old fuel pump. The whole project took a couple of hours.
