The Holly pump is louder, if that’s any consolation!

If you haven't done so already, isolate the pump from the body with a thick
piece of rubber.

Ryan,

You can bolt the pump to a piece of thick rubber (an old tire tread will
work) and then bolt the rubber to the car body using a second piece of
rubber between the car body and the piece of rubber you bolted to the
pump.

 To make this work, bolt the pump to one piece of rubber and then drill
thru both pieces of rubber at the ends.  Bolt thru the 2 pieces of rubber
to the car body.   The bolts that hold the pump to the 1st piece of rubber
will not touch the car and the noise and vibration will be reduced ;)

I wrapped a layer of inner tube around a pump before mounting it to the
area where you mounted your pump. The pump failed. I thought the cause
would be alcohol laced fuel and sitting over winters, but on dissection I
found the electronics that controlled the electromagnet that moves the
plunger had failed. Electronics got too hot, I guess. Another clue was that
after the car sat 15 -- 20 minutes (cooled) the pump began "knocking"
again, but failed again within about 6 houses from home - when it warmed up
again. Replaced with same kind / brand of pump and so far so good. All the
internal moving bits were free and bright and shinny. The electronics are
"potted" so a comprehensive examination of the electrical parts wasn't
possible.

You can try something like these rubber mounts (available at Summit, Pegasu=
s, etc.).   The transmission mount for an MGB will work (number escapes me =
now) but the rubber is much harder and doesn't work as well.
