    I did a 2.0 16v engine swap with dual web carbs & a full MSD ignition setup.

    I need to figure out how to get a 12v signal to my fuel pump relay.

    Works when jumped. 30 to 87

    in this pic of the back of the fuse box where the relay plugs in it's the top red wire #30 to the 2 black w/ green wires #87 ( To fuel pump, Aux air reg & Control press reg )
    e 2 wires go / come from


    So do i just need to send a 12v signal to the 87 pin with the black w/ green wires ?

    What have you all done ?

    When I did my swap. I ran a separate relay for the fuel pump instead of jumping wires on the fuse box.

    YEP got it all figured out Before a single response.


    Replace the relay with a 4 prong one just like the horn relay

    the oem fuel pump relay has larger pins on it. Im tanking of opening up the fuse box and moving some wires around to get it to work with the stock fuel pump relay, if possible.
