So just checked everything.
1st pic shows how factory was wired, on the bulkhead.
2nd pic shows how I have it.
3rd pic shows how I have it wired at the pump. Black wires on the negative side of fuel pump, so should be ok there.
Looks like I'll go back to stock.

Are you running a 255 with a boost a pump or just a 255. If just a 255 then just buy a stock replacement. I had to upgrade due to much larger pump and down the road a boost a pump.

You have a purple pump, its an RX-brand pump, that is why it reverses polarity.

So with the pump from racetronix, you have to cut a hole,in the "purge port". Does the same have to be done on a new OE pump?
Also, in this pic, the upper fuel line has two clamps. Is it bad, or unsafe, that I can only get one clamp on? I am able to get the line further down than I thought, but the 2nd clamp just barely doesn't fit.

My Delphi, stock replacement, pump was a bolt in. No cutting.
There's one clamp on mine, (I think?) and it's fine. It's a zomg, "FI RATED!!!" clamp, whatever that means?
It had a regular hose clamp on it before and didn't leak?

Drifting
The pressure hose has 2 clamps so that it evens out the pressure on the hose.
I was able to fit 2 clamps but I dont have a pic. Do one then the other ,even pressure.
Actiually the right hand one is backwards and the left needs rotating up a bit.

Got back from driving it
So I am using a stock pump. I could have just cut on that thing the pump sits on, for the racetronix. That is what was preventing the car from getting fuel. But to be honest, I was/am scared of running that pump on factory wiring. I'll keep it, if I ever up the power. You can actually hear the new stock pump prime at key on. My old one, you couldn't.
And that is how I have the hoses. Hopefully they don't leak. None so far.
