How to wire fuel pump.

I'm switching from a tpi to carburetor setup.
I have never owned a third gen car, so I'm not formerly on how to wire the fuel pump.
I want to have it on a keyed 12v to a manual switch. So do I use the red and orange wires going to the fuel pump?
And before you lady's kill me, I bought the car without the tpi setup. I think the guy sold it.

Not knowing what the other guy did to the car, don't forget TPI ran a lot higher pressures than what the carb will need; so you'll either need a real strong FPR or you may want to change the pump.

Post #2 gave you a straight clear answer. I volunteer my time here to help others out. Short of me coming to your house and wiring it for you I'm not sure what more you expected. You have an attitude with people who volunteer to help you, maybe someone will help you but I won't be me. Good luck, wish you well.

I felt the same way! You gave him a direct answer, I thought I'd help by mentioning something he may not have known. Oh well, not everyone can be appreciative when they get help, it's the entitlement age we live in now I guess.

Re: How to wire fuel pump.

I see no answer to the question I asked. I asked how to write the fuel pump. This forum is full of misinformation past from one dumbys to another. And you edit trolls I'm done with this forum no nothing Mfers.
