Hello All,
I have a '74 where I've removed the FI and added carbs. The tank is out and the fuel cell is in place (in the spare well). I've read from others about mounting the CB Performance pump down near the rack -fine. Since the fuel pump on this year was back in the engine bay/firewall, how have those of you who have done this routed the wiring up front -or did you tap into the fuse box? Thanks in advance! |

To avoid the inevitable DAPO references it is always advisable to keep it as close to stock wiring & operation as possible.
Its pretty simple to run a a jacketed dbl wire (+/-) through the tunnel to the steer rack area connecting it to the OE fuel pump wiring in the rear. Then ground the circuit from the 4 pin connector at the back of the relay board per the thread: conversion from EFI to carbs |

My earth lead has a breaker switch I put in for security and helpful for draining tank etc also. Cheers . |
