fuel relay help

Hey guys i'm needing to bypass my fuel relay to make the pump prime... i swapped in a 355 carb from my 305tbi and need to know how to hook up my wires so i can get my fuel relay to either work properly or just hook up to an "hot in ignition" wire because i have hooked power to all but the ground on the relay and i got nothing... (other than the normal clicking sounds of the power switching.)

Help?

wow!!!! my mind went into over load for a minute, trying to remember the wire color codes, but next time there should be a white, or red, maybe a combination of red/white with a plug on it near the fuel pump relay. that is your bypass line.

Re: fuel relay help

its actually grey.

The green/white wire goes to the relay coil side
The black wire goes to ground
the Red wire comes from the fuel prime switch to one side of the switch relay
The Orange Wire comes from the ecm to the other side of the switch
And a grey wire is on the opposite side of the switch and runs to the fuel pump.
