OK here it goes I have an 86 that I've put a carb on. My plan is to get the wiring for the fuel pump right. I want to put a Holley Blue fuel pump on it and use the wires off the factory fuel pump. To my understanding they go to one of the plugs up by the brake booster? What wires do I need to jump so I get power back to the fuel pump, or how can I make this work?

Thanks.

Do not attempt to leave the EFI in place in an attempt to control either the electric fuel pump or ignition. You will need to add a relay & switch and wire in the existing inertia switch for an external low pressure electric fuel pump. Do not try to wire the fuel pump without the relay. The 15-20 amps the pump pulls will overload the circuit. This will take power away from other items on the same circuit or cause the fuse or fuse link to blow.
