      @@nsogiba how did you get key and fuel pump wired in? I’m kinda hitting a brick wall with the wiring part ?

    • @nsogiba
      @nsogiba  24 дня назад

      @@TheRealKazma I bypassed the Fuel Pump Module in the trunk. With the key on it received power and then that signal gets sent to the stock fuel pump harness. The fuel pump was on when the key was on which is "hotwired". Technically the "right" way to do it is have the GM PCM control the fuel pump. I think there is an output on the GM PCM to trigger the pump. That way, if you're in an accident, when the engine stops running the fuel pump will shut off.

      @@nsogiba so in my case I’m using Holley would it be more beneficial to dig deeper and find the signal wire to the fuel pump and supply it to the ecu? And additionally with getting keyed power to the Holley would I need to splice into the ignition switch?

    • @nsogiba
      @nsogiba  24 дня назад

      The Holley already provides a fuel pump output which makes it easier. Depending on how big your pump(s) are you can use that signal to trigger the fuel pump module in the trunk or just go directly to the pump harness on the tank. If you're using pumps with higher current draw you'll use that signal to trigger a relay. ​@@TheRealKazma

    Great job man, that turned out Awesome!
    Do you know if the swap would be pretty much the same for an older panther platform?
    I have a square panther, 89 town car that I want to swap.
    From my understanding they are different frames and suspension though.
    Any advice is appreciated!

    Damn, this was an awesome video up until fate of the vehicle. How come you didn’t just let it rust some more lol. Awesome build though. Pretty sure mines a rusty piece of crap underneath but Idc. Swapped a limited slip rear end on mine last summer and it didn’t seem too bad, definitely ain’t got no rockers though.
