I have been following the directions in other posts to wire my car for carbs with a low pressure pump under the tank. In front I have a black/red wire and brown for ground which is expected. My number 13 pin on the 14 pin connector is green rather than black with red. I can't find a diagram of a '75 relay board and it's not in my manual. The previous owner had blue a jumper wire connected as shown in the photo. Is this arrangement right for this year when running carbs?

The blue jumper wire activates the fuel pump without the efi if I remember correctly.

It looks like pin 3 is connected to pin 4.

Pin 3 is the fuel pump relay pin should be connected to ground to energize the relay.

Pin 4 is connects to the starter.

With that connection, the fuel pump will run unless the starter is engaged. Not sure why it's connected like that.

Yes the PO had 3 and 4 connected. I’m not getting power when I ground 3 and Pin 13 is not showing 12v when the key is on. Seems like something is different on the ‘75 car?

The relay board is the same on all years. Power to pin 1 of the FI connector comes from the power supply relay. You should have 12V on pin 1 with the ignition switch on. Careful as the 12V on pin 1 is not fused. The power to the fuel pump relay coil is also the power supply relay and pin 1.

Do you have power at the 25A fuse? This is for the fuel pump relay.

In your picture with the 14 pin connector apart, it is assumed you have the battery NEGATIVE terminal disconnected. There are no fuses between pin 12 and pin 14 wires to the battery.

Here's a diagram of the relay board from Pelican showing wire colors.

I found a Bowlsby photo that shows the '75 with a greeen wire (pin 13) attached to the black/red wire under the dash being stock. I'm wondering if someone cut the green wire under my dash which would explain not having power at 13. I'll check that today.

It looks like the jumper from 3 to 4 was carrying power to the fuel pump relay because one of those tabs is connected to pin 1 (yellow wire) on the 14 pin connector.

Thank you for the reminder to disconnect the battery.

I have power on both sides of the fuse

Tested the relays and they all switch when power is applied

Confirmed that the ‘75 has a green wire from pin 13 and changes to a black and red wire under the dash to connect to the fuel pump, this must be specific to ‘75 and ‘76 cars?

Maybe I have a problem with 85 or 86 on the power supply relay which is not sending signal to the fuel pump relay switch?

When you tested the relay, did you test in the car or separately? Pull the fuel pump relay and put a very small wire in the pin 87socket hole and replace the relay. Turn on the car and measure the voltage on the wire.

Well it looks like fuel pump week. I wish I had something to contribute.

Spoke is working overtime.. Hopefully we will both have things sorted soon.

Good luck mtndawg, I am following!

Had the relay board out testing everything I could think should have continuity and everything checked out along with getting 12 volts in all the right locations. I put it all back together to test for voltage at the pump. When I turned the key it went on! I don’t know what the problem was. Moving forward for now.

Good to hear although it is also good to find the issue and fix it. Many times electrical issues stem from poor contact at connectors. Removing and reinserting connectors sometimes makes better contact and things run again. Let's just hope the issue doesn't come back.
