Bryan,

I ran my wiring for my electric fuel pump the same way you mentioned. Works great.  :2thumbs:

And I too can't wait to hear her roar to life!!!  :ylsuper: :cooldancing:

Well I can now safely say the electric fuel pump works after doing the switch install and wiring from the back to front. While I was at it, I decided to honk the horn, turn on the parking lights and screw around with the interior lights. Might have to work on the dimmer switch a little and swap out the bulbs for high intensity or led bulbs for the dash.

Gettin closer!

See if you can spot the switch for the fuel pump.

It's there but hard to see.

Is it where the rear defrost switch should be ? If not, that would be a cool place to put it...even make a label to match.....  :thinkerg: :2thumbs:

I used that switch for my power antenna (I did not want it up all the time).

working electrics is a big step  :clapping:
You could use the location for the rear defroster switch and make a label that says fuel pump but connect it to a big horn... hide the actual pump switch somewhere else.  Should be fun if someone would try to steal the car...  :biggrin:

great work  :2thumbs:

Rear defrost switch is already being used for something else.

Guess you guys cannot spot it.

These pics are for Tom since I finished up all the wiring and is ready to put back down on the ground.
