Matty's first 1st Gen

Can a holley red be mounted in the stock location horizontally? Or does it need to be mounted vertically. I think its a rotary vane pump so i'd assume it'd be ok. I just want to make sure the motor or bearings or anything will be ok if mounted horizontally. I haven't been able to find any info in searching. I bought the pump off ebay and it didn't cofme with any instrustions, and holley.com doesn't have any info either.

needs to be mounted vertically.

why can't it be mounted horizontally?

from what I understand it's the design of the pump. Gas leak can occur if mounted incorrectly according to warnings on the box. So dont take the chance. If your looking to mount a fuel pump horizontally than get a diffrent pump thats designed to be mounted that way....not holley red, blue or black fuel pump..

check THIS thread out for where to install it and keep it upright.

I burned out a Holley Blue which was in the trunk (fuel tank is inside the trunk also) of my RX3 so when I replaced it I ran a flex hose through one of the drain holes as I found out the Holley's aren't cooled by the fuel so they need air flow to cool them. problem never resurfaced.

They have to be mounted upright as previously stated.
