Please read all the 

WARNINGS 

and 

NOTES

.  They contain valuable information that can save you time and money.  Holley Performance Products 

cannot and will not be responsible for any alleged or actual engine or other damage, or other conditions resulting from misapplication of the fuel pumps 

and fuel pressure regulators described herein.  However, it is our intent to provide the best possible products for our customer; products that perform 

properly and satisfy your expectations.  Should you need information or parts assistance, please contact Technical Service at 1-270-781-9741, M-F, 8 

a.m. to 6 p.m. & Sat. 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. CST.  Please have the P/N ready when calling. 

 

NOTE:

   A screen type pre-filter (100 micron), a top quality post fuel filter, fuel hose and clamps, 12 gauge wire, fuel fittings, assorted terminals, a relay 

kit (12-753), and an optional safety shut-off switch (12-810) is required to complete the installation of the Holley HP fuel pump.  These parts 

are not included with the fuel pump. 

 

NOTE:

   These Holley HP fuel pumps require the use of a bypass style fuel pressure regulator (Part number 12-845 for carbureted applications and 12-

846 for EFI applications).   

 

NOTE:   

The Holley HP fuel pump utilizes o-ring sealed inlet/outlet ports.  The ports utilize ¾-16 O-ring (-8AN) threads.  These ports are not pipe 

thread, therefore 

Do not use thread sealant.  

 

NOTE:

ALWAYS RECOMMENDS

 using our oil pressure safety shut-off switch, part number 12-810. 

 

 

PUMP MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION:

 

 

The best location for mounting any electric fuel pump is the rear of the vehicle, near the fuel tank and in a position even with or below the bottom of the 

tank, allowing the fuel to be gravity fed to the pump.  

The pump should be mounted on a solid member, such as the chassis, with the pump 

outlet pointing forward or upward.

  Avoid exposure of the pump and fuel lines to moving parts and to any hot areas, such as the exhaust manifold.  

The pump should not be mounted in an enclosed area, such as the vehicle’s trunk.  Follow the steps below for mounting the pump.
