Hi can anyone recommend a good electric fuel pump option for 73' Avenger GLS? I like the look of the Facet ones but am reading they need to be mounted below tank/fuel level and would ideally like to new pump in boot.

Cant recommend Facet i'm afraid, bought a new silver top for my Lotus and had loads of grief with the pump cutting out after 10 minutes, because the pump was new (and expensive) i overlooked that as the problem and spent ages and a fortune replacing ignition bits etc (and £80 cost of the pump down the drain).
Had the same pump in a 1380 Mini about 8 years ago and it was great (hence buying another) but aparently the quality has gone downhill in recent years.
You may buy a Facet and it will be fine or end up with a curse word one like i did
Replaced the Facet with a cheap (£12 odd) unbranded one off E-bay (sorry cant post link on this computer) and it works great, still have the Facet inline regulator fitted which seems to be ok, going to buy another one of the cheap pumps and keep it as a spare.

Also any electric pump will need to be mounted bellow the tank (fuel level) unless you fit a one way valve to stop the fuel draining out the pump.
And i'd recommend an inline filter between the tank and pump as well as between the pump and engine.

Umm. I have a facet pump mounted in my boot, with a filter king pressure regulator next to it. The pump is self priming, and I have had no running problems whatsoever. It works perfectly mounted where it is, above the fuel tank.

The one I am looking at is a Facet Posi-Flow Fuel Pump with a Sytec Fuel Regulator Kit.
Do you have a non-return valve fitted between your tank and pump to stop the fuel running back into the tank?

No non return valve, as the pump is self priming and the fuel will not drain from the engine through the regulator then there is no way for the fuel to drain back to the tank. If you want some photos of my install p.m me your e-mail address or mob no and I will send you a couple.
