Thanks for the heads up Damon. I'll definitely take your advice. I'll have to check the Summit and Jegs catalog for a mounting plate. I may be able to fabricate one too. I was hoping to use one of the ports on the regulator for a pressure gauge but I'm sure I can figure something out if I use a mounting plate like the one in your post.

Val, I noticed on the gasser that the pump appears to be mounted upside down. Will it work in either orientation?

I'd call that position right side up. They will work in any position on every pump I've ever purchased.

Good to know. I assumed the normal orientation is with the "Holley" logo readable but it gives me more options if it will work either way. Now that I think about it, I can see that it shouldn't make a difference which way it is. Thanks again!

No logo on mine, but the bracket would be on the bottom if I had it the opposite way, which would mke a pretty long bracket needed to mount it.

This is what I have. I think if I mount it with the Holley logo readable then I can get the pump lower and tucked inside the frame rails easier. When I get it fabricated I'll post a picture. To rubber mount the pump, is there a good source for the rubber isolators or do you just use a piece of rubber stock?

Ummm.. If you slide the pump out of the bracket and flip it over, the logo will still be right side up. No up or down on these, just in and out.
