Been waiting on parts/supplies so I haven't gotten much done lately.
The new fuel pump (Aeromotive Stealth 340):
Does anyone know if the supplied rubber/foam sleeve is fuel safe? The Aeromotive pump isn't really drop-in due to its smaller size. I plan on using stainless steel tie downs to hold it to the stock fuel pump support. If I can use the foam/rubber sleeve that should keep the noise down. It's also annoying Aeromotive "recommends" 10 ga wire for the fuel pump, yet the pigtail harness they sent me has 16 ga wire. Since the pump current draw should always be <20 amps I'm actually going with 12 ga wire.
The new bulkhead connector is in. It's a tight fit!
Not pictures is the new fuel pump wiring. 12 ga from the new relay in the passenger's foot well all the way back to the fuel pump. It follows the stock antenna cable's path to the driver's rear strut tower. I need to find a 1.25" diameter grommet with a .25" hole for the fuel tank service cover since I destroyed the stock one and I can't find a part number anywhere.
If anyone knows this I would be grateful!
The rest of my fuel system re-work has also arrived. Pictures later:
-2 feet of Gates 5/16" submersible fuel line
-Fuel line clamps (no worm clamps!)
-40 feet of -6 AN braided stainless steel line
-Aeromotive fuel filter
-Too many hose ends and misc fittings to count
The wife has a friend in town this weekend so that means I should have plenty of "alone time" with the RX-7.
