Electric Fuel Pump Wiring
I have an 81 Corvette, which I am installing an electric fuel pump near the gas tank. Looking for input on the best place to get a 12V ignition source for it. All suggestion appreciated.

Hello,
Run it off a relay. On it's own circuit. Trigger the relay with an ignition on hot wire. Hot from the battery to the relay which will route it to the pump. You may want to put a cut off switch in the line as a safety.
Hope that helps,
Frank

about using a relay, and the source from the battery should be fused. You can get a safety switch from a junkyard. Ford Taurus and other Ford models have a re-settable switch in the trunk. They will be in great shape even in the junkyard and should only cost a few $. On impact the switch will open and shut the pump off. That should go on the + voltage side also.

Starting a new thread makes it much easier for people to answer your question. It also makes it easier for people (who are interested in the same information), to find what they are looking for.
