Read the instructions on your electric fuel pump closely. Most electric fuel pumps need to be mounted near the fuel tank and as close to the bottom of the fuel tank as you can get it. These electric pumps are baisically pusher pumps and do not create very much suction so the fuel shoud gravity feed to the pump and then let the pump preasurise it to the front of the car.
I have a Holley Blue pump and it was mounted lower that the tank but I had a problem becase the fuel line from the tank looped up about 7 to 8" before is went down to the fuel pump. The Pump could not create enough vaccume to pull the fuel up and over and maintain pressure. I shortened the fuel line and cleared this up but it took me a while to figure this out.
If you use a mechanical pump they make great pullers hence they are mounted up on the engine and are engine driven.
