I just roughed out the placement of the 75 pump in the 73 stock location. Not the best fit. One problem the fuel filter can't be secured in the 73 filter holder. I also think the plastic lines might have to be trimmed. You guys have any suggestions? I'd rather not move it up front. Capt'n is this the way you have done it? Thanks for the help.

That's not the best place for the fuel pump, it's a heat trap. That is why one of the solutions was to mount it on the lower firewall, but they can still vapor lock in that location, which is why the best solution is to move it up front pushing the fuel (which is easier for the pump) than pulling it.
