Fuel pump mounting question
Fuel pump mounting question I'm doing an ls swap on my 68 camaro and am going to Run the walbro electric in line pump and corvette filter regulator. I was wondering if the pump and regulator needed to be mounted level or if they would work mounted on an angle?

You also want to do your best to mount the pump BELOW the exit point of the tank. You want gravity to help maintain fuel supply to the pump, and once it reaches the pump, it will carry the fuel up, left, right, down...wherever you need it. But you don't want to risk starving the pump by mounting it above the level of the exit point of the tank. You also should be adding a sump to the tank, or using a fuel cell. You could also try to use a modern pump/tank combo instead of the Walbro. There may be other options but these are the ones I know of.
No mine is a flat bottom but the advantage to having a cell is the outlet is at the back of the cell at the bottom. When you are under hard acceleration you won't starve the motor for fuel
