John,

I have Facet pumps installed on my 3, 4 and 6. The 6 pump is mounted just 
under the rear of the left fender on the outside wall of the trunk. Filter 
between the tank and pump. I also installed a regulator which is bolted to a 
plate on top of the mechanical pump blank off plate. The pressure is set at 2 
PSI for my 2 SUs. Just to be sure, I have a 2nd filter just before the 
regulator.

I have been running Facet pumps for 5 years now and I will never go back to 
the mechanical.

They are a bit noisy when you turn on the ignition but once the engine fires 
up I cannot hear the pump even at idle.

Where ever you mount the pump the conventional wisdom is to get it as close to 
the tank as you can.
