85 fuel pump stopped turning on
the fuel pump was working just fine, I attempted to find a fuel pump relay to hotwire the pump so i could adjust my fuel pressure but when i tried one of the two relays (one is long the other is square) that i have on the firewall on the drivers side there was a small spark... no fuses were blown but my fuel pump will no longer turn on

If it won't fire and the fuse isn't blown, I would think It's curtains for your fuel pump.
EDIT: Just saw that you have an LT1. I'm not very familiar with these engines. Can someone post up here on what a solution might be?

Re: 85 fuel pump stopped turning on
its an lt-1 from 71 not to be confused with the lt1 from the 90's
i found that it was a 20 am fuse that was a bit hidden in its own weatherpack? but i'd blown that one its working fine now... but also in my half asleep stupidity i did something worse to my headlights, they will turn on but neither one goes up or down, one is stuck up...
