Mark---The electric pump can be quieted down by using rubber bumpers
between the pump body and what ever you have it bolted to. In my case I
had some half inch thick stock similar to the kind used to support the
differential mounts. It is bolted to the inner fender indent, just below
the fuse box. It is now hardly noticeable when the pump turns on.
One key to having minimum pump operating time is to be sure to have all
of the air expelled between the pump and the carbs. Air in the system
can make it sound like a machine gun! Everything out of the pump running
uphill at a 45 deg. aids in this no-air effort. One of those glass
in-line filters with the filter removed will show when this is air
bubble free.
