1980 gas wiring harness in a 1985 former diesel
Hello All, need some advice and information. I have put a 1980 gas wiring harness in ol'blue. I have 2 problems. The first problem is i need to know what circuit would be best to tap for the electric fuel pump. The second is the clutch safety switch. The clutch safety switch i cant find any wire hook up to the switch?? Both trucks are stick shift.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe some of the guys on here have said the early manual trucks did not have a neutral safety on the clutch. That came out later.
For the fuel pump I would add a relay under the hood, feed the relay with a fuse or circuit breaker directly off the battery +, and then feed the pump with the relay. Then you can run a small wire from the relay into the cab and run it off any circuit you choose, the relay won't draw much power.
