Got my electric fuel pump and oil pressure switch. Is there a wiring diagram available? I will run it off the aux tank using the tank switch. I'm sure I can figure it out, but tips from someone who has done it would help. Thanks again.

Search the photo site for "fuel wiring". A couple diagrams should come up.

Also, where is the best place to mount the pump?
For ease of changing, would a spin on marine fuel filter work here? Thanks.

biggreen,

I mounted my electric fuel pump on the back of the cross member where the fuel tank switch is located. It is protected there. I did use a boat fuel filter there for a while but later switched to Jim K Cadillac fuel filter. Either one will work. I don't think I had to drill any holes for either one, but it has been a long time back. I used the Carter fuel pump also.

Gene,
Could I make a suggestion to this diagram:

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/misc/p19123-electric-fuel-pump-wiring.html

On the top right side you show the oil pressure switch wiring with the "S" terminal going to IGN and the "I" terminal going to ACC.

When I looked at that I was scratching my head. IGN to me is ON when the engine is running and ACC is ON when either the engine is running or the key is set to Accessory, its for running things such as your radio.

In your pictorial it shows the wiring correctly, although harder to read.

May I suggest your change the word IGN to say "Start solenoid" and ACC to say IGN to make it a bit clearer.

Keep up the great work!

Contact your supplier for help.
If no result call us and we can help you.
I had to say that.
The diagram we have from the manufactures were not correct.
