Cheers mate, getting there slowly - just want it too work now :( need to find these fuel pump wires so I can put it on the switch

its not the prettiest but It serves a purpose so it'll have to do haha, couldnt think of a better way to utilise the space at the time but I can always make another if I need more switches :)

fuel pump wires ?

Just a black ignition feed shall do dude :)

yeahh we wanna try get it going on the lift pump. just dunno where to start!!!

if that fails then the facet. howd you do yours jamie?

Jamies using a bike pump with an ignition feed off wire to coil.

Just rewire the lift pump, probably easier lol.

yee we were gonna use facet, but u gotta modify the spi fuel system innit.

would wire up lift pump if i knew how lol!

As Eric says really, wiring isn't my thing at all, to anyone else its proberbly a 5 minute job haha

yeee same. i struggle electrically tbh. so wiring fuel pumps up isnt my strongest point!

Who fancies coming to wire it up tomorrow lol!?

Well this is how it sits today, gonna have an attempt at wiring this fuel pump to a switch. Being a complete noob when it come to fuel pumps (sorry)

Which do I need us by the back wheel there are what looks like 2 pumps, only had a quick look last night.

Once that's on a switch ill connect the fuel lines to the carbs

Get some radiator pipes fill it with coolant and see what happens :)

This is how it looks currently, no show car but I'm happy

The live feeds for the pumps are by the fusebox.

Just a red and yellow wire. Try putting 12v to it and you should hear the pumps come on, hopefully eric didnt cut them or anything when the fusebox was taken out.

You ideally want to be using a relay to power it too.

So you dont need to go anywhere near the pumps by the way.

Ah you legend

Thank you

About the only one I can see but it looks bodged already

i didnt cut anything lol

Loving the valver engine! What happened to the old white coupe??

Well updates as follow

Fuel pump sorted it was wired into my immobiliser which made it fun to remove. But that's now done on the ignition, I will run it too a switch at some point.

Its not giving the carbs enough fuel though we nearly had it start but die to lack of fuel it wouldn't have it :(

All in all though, stupidly happy. Its so close

As for the old coupe I sold it to someone then he sold it it now belongs to someone on here called Ryan he lives in Bicester

niceeeee! ill drop by tomorrow evening and sort it if weathers good. are u still using both pumps?

Legend!!!! Hoping you'd be about tomorrow ill whatapp you soon with more details

Basically its just shortening the fuel lines to tidy up the t piece then tuning the carbs, adjusting the timing

I need to run the choke and accelrator cable but I can do that tomorrow day time hopefully

cool bro. no worries. well get it running have no fearrrr

Sweeeeet - ill do all the nightly shit bits in the day tomorrow, and refit the dash back together lol!

Btw Eric the cars back at my garage so the weather doesn't matter ill bring as much artificial light as possible

This is what I've done so far today - loads of little jobs, there's a few more but I didn't write them down just did them as I went along

So tonight when the rad hoses are here well connect everything up, ill let Eric check over the t piece to see if I've got everything right before the carbs go on, then crank it over see how we get on.

This is the 5th day of the engine conversion havnt had time in the week so 2 weekends and today can't be bad
