Hi Steve, I have been e-mailing Dave Irwin and he shed some light on my issue an what I would like to accomplish (basically brighter lights). As my electrical system is stock and only item I have "extra" is a MSD unit (no big stereo or foglights etc.), I am going to keep the stock alternator and invest in the headlight upgrade and parking light upgrade. Thanks for your replies but at the moment I plan on pursuing this route. Brian

Thanks for the responses. My car has some mods and I need to run an electric fuel pump. I have an L28 with flat-top pistons, N42 head and a Schneider cam running tripple DCOE45's. I no longer have the mech pump but am running a high volume low pressure Carter pump that is powered from the original harness conections back near the fuel tank. This pump setup was recomended by Top End Performance from California who is a distributor of Weber products. I will search for Dave Irwin. Thanks, Brian

Steve, I am assuming by disabling this (by removing connector), this would prevent power to the fuel pump at all times. Disabling after driving would prevent battery drain but this seem slike a hassle each time to disconnect and reconnect.

Hello, I have a 73 240 (with elec fuel pump factory installed) and purchased an MSA alternator adapter plug last year. Just getting around to installing this with a ZX alternator (internally regulated) and I have read multiple posts about the fuel pump relay being energized and draining the battery (just on the 73 with the factory fuel pump relay). After searches, I could not find any specifics of what is needed to correct battery drain. I have read that you need to wire a relay in, but again no specifics. If anyone out there has the details, It would make a great writeup (color codes on wires/pics/etc.) I would sure appreciate any info you guys have. Thanks
