I am adding duel 97s on a 51 merc and am putting an electric fuel pump by the tank.would it be ok for me to splice into the fuel gauge sensor wire or do i have to run a wire up to the ignition?
Thanks

NO NO NO!!!!!You need a switched relay or.... you will burn!!!
LOw voltage kills pumps and when u run a wire that long thru a switch,well things get hot in a hurry!!Its also a good idea to put in a oil saftey switch.
Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)

As was stated above Don't do that It wouldn't work anyway. Run a seperate lead thru a relay off a switched fused source(ignition switch)

And remember 97's don't like much fuel pressure at idle or they will fluid.

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
