Pretty much like ^he^ said. Run some power back to underneath the car to where the fuel pump is. Its on the passenger side right in front of the back tire.

What do you need to run it for?

I have a seperate fused power supply for my pump with a switch right down and to the left of the steering wheel. I turn it on/off without even thinking about it now. Its weird, everytime i drive someone elses car i always reach down to turn it on/off and its not there

I hooked mine up directly to the battery to troubleshoot a starting problem I had once. I did fuse the link!! Use the wiring diagram for help on what wire is hot and which is ground.

n/m i just kept trying to start it till i got my regulator down to the right psi...pluged the main fuel line back up and it started right up...and it might have been in my head but it sounds SO MUCH better... i was running very lean because my stock pump was dieing on my.

now im running a holley red with a holley regulator

Also there is a plug under the dash that you can run a jumper from and that will turn on the pump without turning on the engine.
