Help !!! 4.3 to v8 swap fuel pump problem

[87chevyboy]

Ok guys so finally dropped the 350 in my Monte Carlo eliminated the computer and harness (v6 4.3 tbi) now I'm trying to fire it up but fuel pump is not kicking over do I have to re wire the fuel pump? Where is the fuse located ? I have no pressure coming to the gauge and no fuel shooting out when I pull the hose. Really need to fire this engine up already

I believe on my 88 Camaro the fuel pump relay was switched by the computer grounding it. Try connecting the ground wire off of the relay to good ground.

More information would be help full at best. The fuel pump you talk about is it a intank or a after market pump that goes in the fuel line from the tank to what ever.

So the fuel pump is the stock intank pump all the wiring has been eliminated from the ecm I have no relay or anything to send power to the pump only harness I have is the one on the fender and I clipped off all the connections that I didn't think I needed hooked up starter alternator and distributor

Go to your local parts store and pick up a bosch relay number 0-332-019-150 (or equivalent.) Wire it like this:
Terminal 30 - fused power from battery (25A, 14ga wire minimum)
Terminal 85 - Ground
Terminal 86 - Key on power (fused 10A)
Terminal 87 - Fuel pump positive
Terminal 87 - Not used

There are 2 terminals labelled 87, you only need to use one. Typically the 87 terminal in the center of the relay will be unused. It's a good idea to get a harness that fits this relay, less chance of shorting things out.

Damn sounds complicated !! Where would I get the harness so that I don't short anything? And the fuel pump positive where do I locate it since I don't have the ecm? do I run a wire all the way back to pump?

I can't find it on the autozone website

87a is not used on a spdt relay in this application. You can get a spst relay too. Then there is no 87a.
