Re: Wiring Question?

The grey wire is power from the pump relay, the blk is ground and the purple is for your fuel level sender.

Re: Wiring Question?

are you using a external electric fuel pump? if so u wont need any of the wires from the tank. but my advice would be go with a manual fuel pump. i had all kinda trouble with a electric fuel pump when i did my motor swap.not to mention if u use a external electric fuel pump u will most likely need a regulator. plus a holley external pump is well over $100. a good high quality manual pump is half that and no wires at all to deal with and u wont have that aggrivating constand hummm sound from the electric pump.. just my opinion because i have been there. good luck.
