Fuel pump won't stop

What would cause the fuel pump to not stop running? I finally had to disconnect my battery. I started for the car first time and it ran fine (engine swap TBI to TPI), but now fuel pump will not stop running.

did your car have an in tank pump before the install? some how there is constant power running to it. check the relay, maybe it fried in the open position, this happend to me once with the fan relay.

The pump works correctly today, fired the engine, broke in the cam, set the timing, and no problems. That is very strange, but I am not going to complain.

let me know how your car performs when its broken in. i have a brand new engine as well and was thinking of adding my hot cam but i think my heads will need some spucing up to allow for the extra lift. i added a lt1 cam in the mean time. the stock cam was a peanut. let me know how th eheads are too
