My E-Z Wiring harness has a fusible link that is to be installed at the starter post/bulkhead and crimped to the #10 fuse block feed so that all feeds are fused. The Edelbrock ProFlo XT EFI is made as an add-on system for carburated engines, and the wiring has one power lead that they say is to connect to the starter hot post for a constant feed, and a second switched 12v lead to control the system. The fuel pump is controlled by the ECM, which is normal for an EFI system.
I am hooking the main feed from the + bulkhead connector to a four post terminal block using the supplied fusible link, then taking feeds to 1) fuse block, 2) SPAL Fan, 3) VA Heater/AC, and 4) ECU from that TB. The SPAL fan has an in-line fuse, and the VA has a breaker. My concern is the ECU feed, and especially the fuel pump - if the fuel pump shorts out the fusible link is the only circuit protection and that takes out everything. I'm thinking of replacing the fusible link with a Maxi-Fuse, and using a "Smart Fuse" that lights up when blown just to minimize the troubleshooting in a future problem, but I'm still questioning not having the fuel pump fused. Has anyone run into this, and how do you handle it?? In-line fuse in the pump wiring (not ideal, IMO, but may be the only way)?
