Wiring an electric fuel pump to a carbureted car with oil pressure cut switch
My Dad is working on installing an edelbrock low volume electric fuel pump on his 1970 Charger.

We've been looking at the diagrams together and we are not sure how to wire this properly.

Down below are the diagrams I'm talking about. Does anyone here know how to make me a master diagram with the pump, the oil pressure switch (cuts fuel when engine goes under 5 psi oil pressure) with a relay to the pump? He has power being sent to the pump via a relay with a main power lead from the battery connected to a switch on the dash. I dont really know if this was the best way, but we havnt even started the car yet to see if it would have worked. My dad said he would prefer to get some more info on the best way to wire this because neither of us are liking the dash switch at the moment.

 Can't you just keep a eye on the oil pressure (you should always be watching the gauges anyway). Just remember to add a fuse to the 12 volts going to the pump.  :Twocents:  Why make it harder than it has to be.
