New fuel pump problems
Almost done putting my 45mm weber and new fuel pump. Im stuck though! The new Holley red fuel pump won't turn on (or atleast I don't hear it turn on), but it's hot after cranking it. After cranking it my fuel return line has fuel running out of it. I guess I should block it off... When I plug the old pump back it I can here that one turn on. And when I crank the car with the old pump on a little fuel gets to the filter near the regulator. Help me out! Why is the new pump not working. Do I need a relay? Do I just cap the return line? Wtf is up with my car?

Yeah that's what I thought but it's all straight. I don't know what the problem is. I don't wanna take it to a shop cause I know it's a tiny problem

2 questions.
Is the RED Holley more powerful than the Holley Blue?
and do they not normally run hot?( I'm not a 1st Gen guy but have heard so)
you may want to check the gauge of wiring to the pump itself too,and establish if it is adequate for the job.
