    I'm glad you guys liked it. It still gave me trouble because of the engine running hot. The oil pressure would change enough it cut off the pump intermittently and I'd have to push in the clutch and rev it up to get more gas from the pump while lurching.
    I have changed the set up today 5-30-24 to a relay fuel pump wiring kit from JDM performance Parts on eBay. They literally have a diagram and labels on each wire that tells you where to connect it. Even I could not screw it up.

    Edit 5-31-24- I may have spoken too soon. It won't start and I only hear the pump turn on randomly when cranking. I am doubting what I posted above here as well since it seems I have the black red stripe spliced so it powers the starter solenoid and the black yellow stripe going to the blade connector on the starter. I wonder if my wires are just so dang rotten that is the problem? I have had issues with my dash gauges working or not working randomly since i bought it. I am currently trying to figure out where I can tap into a key on power source other than that black red striped wire. Or it could be the relay wiring kit not working well??? It seems solid and the wires are all 12g or better.I think the ground might be 14g. ugh
    Edit later in the day- So I rested then went back at it with a multi meter. Un-taped that splice I made w/o a connector (link above) and could not really get a consistent reading there. But I did trigger the relay several times. I figured that splice might be breaking the connection since I was connected up the line of it to my key on power source for the pump relay. So I crimped the two wires on one end and the other one the other end with a butt connector and when I turned the key the pump came on and stayed on and it fired right up. Off and on several times and it seems OK. We'll see tomorrow. It seemed OK yesterday when I took that nice drive in the hills.
