IMHO: The best place: In the tank. 1) Quieter 2) Runs cooler, but, (-) hard
to install (-) hard to service.
The next best place: Under the passenger floor, just aft of the tank outlet
and body crossmember. 1) Well protected, 2) Easy to service but, (-)
noticeable noise when running.
For the undercar install, use a holesaw and grommets to get through the body
crossmember (two hoses, two holes, four grommets). Don't forget to put a
filter between the tank and the pump inlet.
Last time I did this (an hour ago) on my '65 it worked out just fine! My
other e-pump car has the pump in the tank. I put it in through a new port in
the top of the tank and have a matching hole in the trunk, solving the
serviceability problem. The in-tank pump is very quiet while the underfloor pump
(even though mounted in foam lined clamps) makes a noticeable whine. Your
choice!

my 66 turbovert?<unsnip>
