thx man i appreciate it.

 

Yes I do have a Holley Blue. I want something different but cash may come into play. I do have a return set up but haven't plumbed it yet. I hear it quiets them down. I too know how loud they can be. My Nova had no interior and it was loud on top of loud with a 3" exhaust.

In the end I'm hoping for an A1000. But after reading they are loud I'm stuck again. I like the A1000 because it will do anything. My thought was submerge it in the tank and run a return. The fuel should muffle it and the return should help too. Plus it will work on EFI and Carb. But they aren't cheap.

I'll try a few tricks with the Blue first. Like wrapping it in 1/4" silicone rubber sheet from work. plus two layers of that between the mount and the frame. I got 200 sqft of Dynamat too. I want the feeling of driving a newer car. Not a rattle can. Hope I can pull it off.

 

yeah i heard the a1000 are an awesome pump,u have lots of good ideas,i heard the return line on the blue pump quiets it too.i could handle the loud pump but the dang thing kept over heating wich i think was my mistake, i think maybe i should have mounted it in the trunk insyead of underneath the car on the frame rail.i i think its a great idea to wrap it in silicone rubber sheeting,will also protect it from overheating i think,especially under the car with hot exhaust close by.if i end up running a fuel cell in the trunk im gonna run an electric pump again too.we will see.

 

The pump needs to be lower than the fuel remember that. Your frame rail was right. I bet a return would have cooled it off.

I'll coat the gas tank in Lizard Skin if i think it will help.


Bad Bad news yesterday. My buddy with the Dodge got side swiped by another truck. Its bad, real bad. The cab corner is gone the whole side of the bed is toast. Even the rear wheel got some. The truck blue books a 7g. I would bet the insurance calls it totaled. There has to be 5g in damage. He is heart broke. The LS is all but done too, he was just waiting on the coil packs from MSD.

So we're dead in the water for Power Tour. My car won't get done. He is embarrassed by his now.

 

The key to deadening electric pumps is mounting. Make sure there's no metal to metal contact anywhere and the difference will be significant. I drilled holes in the metal large enough to accept rubber grommets I got at the hardware store. That way it insulated the bolts where they pass through the metal. I also used nylock nuts so I didn't have to cinch down the nuts and compress the rubber too tight, which will defeat the soft rubber mounting. I made a rubber pad that also goes between the bracket and the frame to further isolate the pump.
I hear the pump, but the difference between what I had before is amazing.

 

val thats an awesome i dea,never thought of that,i been thinking of trying the electric pump again and running a fuel cell,incase i decide of going efi one day again,the new systems are amazing.where would be the best location to mount a electric fuel pump on these camaros,in my chevelle i used to mount them on my frame rail but had problems over heating from the heat from exhaust under the car.

 

man damon that bites after all that hard work,maybe now u will have to put that LSX engine in ur camaro that would be sweet bet u would love that,if i was to ever do another 2nd gen it would get an LSX engine and a 4L80E combo thats for sure and the upgrades u can get are endless like the sbc just a little more expensive.

 

i never noticed before installing my engine,it was never drilled and tapped for the engine pivot ball stud for my z-bar,im so pissed i never checked that,oh well im just gonna run a 350 turbo tranny and be done with it,they will hold up better anyway.then maybe later i will run a 600 tko with a hydraulic clutch set-up.or even maybe the t-56.

 

Old fashion days was today in Fruitport. Man was it hot. 90*+. On top of that I bet it was 30% political. It seams like every office up for reelection was walking in the parade. It absolutely sucked. I was not there to have someone glad hand my kids and ask for my vote.

Same cars as last year too.

 

It's easier to go a high volume mechanical than an electric on stock tank Camaros. I'd mount the electric pump (if you use one) near the gas tank, and below. Depend on your exhaust where to locate it. If you're running it out the rear like original, then you can't put it on outside the rails. Might have to hang a bracket and drop it below, or go forward and put it on the side of the subframe if it's not so large that it hangs below the frame and could get hit. If you go with a fuel cell, it open up lot of space and I'd go inside the rear frame rail, and drop it even with the bottom off the tank.
Whatever you decide, be sure you run a good pressure regulator! I use them, even on stock fuel pumps, as most carbs don't like over 6 lbs. pressure, and they will save you a lot of headaches troubleshooting carb issues.
