I cant get my stock tach to work. According the jason fletchers site its the darkgreen/yellow wire on the gray connector. If I connect this to the -side of the coil nothing happens. His writeup isn't as thorough as it sounds. THeres alot of little pissy **** that you dont tink about.

I kept my stock EFI pump and ran a Aeromotive Regulator with return from Summit.

Im using a 85 GT dizzy and a Duraspark II box. I went to the pick n pull here and grabbed the entire ignition harness so my looks factory.

OK so for those that have done this, if you go with the after market fuel pick up tube, it has the return line on it, do you just cap that off or what?

Just did some research online and found a pickup line for an aftermarket pump that will work perfect, called them and ordered it right then. The guys here at breeze are really helpful, and got it out the same day that I ordered it... Here is a link...

I was thinking about getting the one with the return line as well, but since, I found this one and it is cheaper I went ahead and went with it. As far as a regulator goes you will still need one, I found a nice combo set on summit for a holley blue pump that comes with a regulator for like $100. Was a pretty good deal... I will let you guys know when I get the fuel pick up in, so you can have an idea about shipping and all. Just keep in mind that I am in Germany, so it might take a bit longer to get to me than it would if I were in the states... Will
