Thumper Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I will be ordering this fuel pump in the next few days and was wondering what fittings do I need to order with the pump to install it into a 83' 280zx. Also what gauge wire do u think would be best for the fuel pump 12 or 14 gauge. TIA Ted Schmidt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used 10 gauge, but I would go no lighter than 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I used 10ga wire as well, and echo SleeperZ comments at going no lighter than 12ga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 The Walbro outlet fitting uses a metric thread so make sure you order it from the supplier you are buying the pump from. Specifically what fitting you get depends on whether you need AN or barbed and what size. I strongly recommend 10-gauge directly off the battery (both pos and neg) through a relay and use the original wire to trigger the relay. I put my relay in the storage bin behind the passenger seat.
