I am switching my 73 from FI to carbs. I want to mount a fuel pump under the tank and was wondering where I can get elec. power to run the pump. Is there power somewhere up front or do I need to run a wire all the way from the relay board? How much room is under the tank?
Cheers, Elliot |

Actually, I think that all the pumps we can get are better at pushing fluid than they are at pulling it.
The stock power supply is controlled by the stock FI computer. I assume you're ditching the ECU... Run a wire from the fuse box that carries "switched" power. If you put the pump in the engine bay, you can leave the "FI Power relay" on the board and run a wire from the right-front pin of the four-pin connector at the left-rear corner of the relay board. That gives you a relay-protected source of power that will be on any time the ignition is on. --DD |
