Just had a look on Holley's website . . . .

Apparently it looks like (for mine at least) you put the pump as close to the tank as possible and the Regulator as close to the carb as possible . . .

I already stated this

Quoting: 55starchief on page 1

A fatter pipe wont affect pressure but will aid the flow of fuel. The pressure is regulated at the end of the line before you split to the carb. the regulaor should be as close to the carb as posible

Yeah, but the position of the PUMP was never discussed . . .

Kinda thinking of losing the boot space all together . . . make it easier to access it all.
It's a bit cramped where it is . . .

Make a large trap door style floor, you can still use it for carting stff about then.

In time, I dare say.

Don't mind "semi-tubbing" it.

Just reluctant to "back half" it, whole hog.

Ah, well. Got the final shopping list together, tooted up the totals

Guess I won't be doing the whole system right now.

For now I am going to just go for new pipe from the existing pump to the carb, with the addition of the regulator and a pressure gauge which will allow me to monitor the current set-up.

Disappointing, but just too much money
