Not OP, but maybe I can help.
I used a OE fuel pump and tank from a 90's truck. High pressure fuel can push a long way! If your having problems with vapour lock, and are trying this setup then mount the Fuel regulator close to the carb away from heat sources. I used a Holly 12-803BP By-Pass Regulator when I was transitioning from carb to efi. The Holley 12-803BP looks the same as the regulator in a photo above.

As for wiring the fuel pumps, I used a couple of relays. One was switching front/rear tanks (Dual tanks), and the other was to turn on fused battery power on/off when the ignition was switched on and on start. One snafu was that I had to use two wires to keep the relay switched on. I used the plug going to the Ford Duraspark ICM module. And Diodes and a relay... and complicated things. :L Anyway, here's the post I made: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post15487092

 

Thanks for your help and there link. I'll post a new thread when I get my parts , don't wanna cloud up the op's thread.

 

Hello, first off I like what you did! I just wanted to know what you did to get your fuel gauge back? I have a 85 f250 that the original Owner had electric pumps in tanks installed for a 460. I want to remove them and insatll just a sending unit and follow a similar set up to yours.
Also did I you get a different relay with more connections to accommodate for the additional wiring?

 

Hey there fmc400 I was wondering if you had a legit parts list? I have an ‘81 4.9 300 that I’m doing this conversion on (pretty much a direct copy). I have the pump and the Hobbs switch, but as far as the relay and the other fittings, I don’t really know what to get. If you could email me the list that would be perfect! Thanks again! Happy Fording!

 

Here is a switch, from what I can tell it just runs the power wire thru it and breaks connection when crashed.

Just so you all know, the OP, fmc400 hasn't been active since Dec. '14.
Don't know what happened, he just dropped off the face of the earth.

 

gotta love 6 year old revivals. FMC400 was a good resource here. his insight is greatly missed. He reminded me of me without being a short temperd smart A$$.

 

It's been a while since this thread was active but am hoiping someone here can let me know if this version of a fuel pump controller would work just as good as the oil pressure switch:

 

My set up is pretty similar to the original ops set but mine is on a 460 engine.

The link you show to the one on Amazon I did look at as well but from what I understand it has to also be hooked up to a tachometer? You might want to double check that. If so and you don’t have a tach….probably a deal breaker on that set up.

 

Yeah I don't have a tach at the moment but I planned on putting one in anyways so I don't over rev my new engine. LOL

 

the description stated if you don't have a tach just connect to negative on coil. I don't have anything else to add, haven't used it myself.

 

My real question here is if the pump controller is just as good an option as the oil pressure sensor...I'm just trying to figure which way I want to go as far as the safety cutoff
