I also used the hole where the mechanical pump used to be to add a spin-on oil filter to the engine (shown below).

I prefer this pump over any others because it produces between 2 and 3.5 psi pressure and no matter what anyone else might tell you, that is all you need for the Chevy inline 6. In fact, more than that can cause overfilling problems in your carburetor (meaning flooding, running rich, etc). Mount this back where the line comes out of your fuel tank. Electric pumps were made to push, and not to pull.

Now you can see what I did with the old fuel pump mounting spot...

Cool setup. Did you plumb that oil filter to the ports on the other side of the engine?
