just put some dynamat on the cover and around the floor pan in that area, a $20-30 speaker kit will do the job nicely!

I re-wired my fuel pump a few days ago and it actually made my 255 quieter. That's another option to consider as well.

I like it because you know it is on.

It sounds good like a modified car should! Everyone should just learn to love it. Or do a rewire kit or dynamat like said to quiet it a little.

Check out this writeup towards the middle, Chris explains how he installed the Walbro and the modification he had to make on it:

If you don't want to click the link and read, then just drill a hole in the stock bracket to make it fit, lol

Please don't do that.

You need to cut the factory fuel lid, not the bracket.
