Note: Be sure to route all electrical wires clear of any moving suspension or drivetrain components and any
exhaust components! Protect wires from abrasion and road obstructions or debris.
44. Connect electrical power (12 VDC) to the pump. Make sure you use stranded, insulated copper wire, in the sizes
shown, with matching crimp-type connectors for all connections. CAUTION: The pump must not be connected
directly to the battery. Connect the Aeromotive fuel pump as shown in the following diagram:
Figure 2-1
CAUTION: While performing the following steps, if any fuel leaks are detected, immediately turn the fuel
pump OFF, remove any spilled fuel and repair the leak(s) before proceeding!
45. Turn the fuel pump ON without starting the engine, allow the pump to run for several seconds and check the fuel
pressure. If there is no pressure, turn the fuel pump OFF, wait one minute, then turn the fuel pump ON and recheck
the pressure. Repeat this fuel pump OFF and ON procedure until the fuel pressure gauge registers pressure or you
detect a fuel leak. It may be necessary to loosen the fuel line fitting at the pressure regulator to bleed off excessive
air in the system. Tighten any fuel line fittings which where loosened and insure that any spilled fuel is cleaned up
and removed from the vicinity of the vehicle. If no pressure is registered on the gauge after running the pump for
several seconds and you have found no leaks, check all fuel and electrical connections to determine the cause.
46. Once the fuel pressure gauge registers pressure, start the engine. The gauge on the fuel pressure regulator should
register between 3 and 12 psi for carb and 35-60 for EFI. Now adjust the fuel pressure regulator to the desired
setting.
Test drive the vehicle to insure proper operation and re-check the fuel system for leaks. If any leaks are found,
immediately discontinue use of the vehicle and repair the leak(s)!
