Re: engine swap

youll probly want to wire a switch to supply the power to the fuel pump. The fuel pump is just an electronic motor, so if you run power and ground to it, it will run, you just need to figure out how to turn it on and off. dash mounted switch probly is just as good as any other idea.

Re: engine swap

If your running a carb on your ZZ4 you will need a fuel pressure regulator cause your electric pump puts out way too much pressure for a carb. I have seen them in Summit for around $100. I'm not sure on the exact pressure but its probably over 30psi. A carb needs around 5psi.

i just found the power to the fuel pump, disconnected the relay and ran an in-cabin switch. that worked well.. also about the fuel pressure go to summit grab a holley one for 26$ itll work perfect, idk where the 100$ comes in thats probly for the pro ones, also ur need to regulate 5-7 psi from the 32-36psi coming from ur electric pump.
