I would look for the plug so you can just plug it into the fuel pump. My friend was able to buy one through Autozone I think?

Do you know where I could get that plug from? Brand? PN? What that plug is called? That sort of thing.

Thanks

Its a 2 pin weatherpack connector... Amazon has them. I'm also going to check my local parts stores for them.

Here is a kit with both the male and female connectors and terminals. I think I bought just what I needed from another place.

Yep - exactly those. I ended up ordering a set with pigtails so I don't have to worry about buying the special crimping tool or screwing up the crimp (my luck) by using a standard crimper. I got mine from Del-City - service has been good but shipping was a killer. Oh well.

i did a 87 sender / tank on my efi swap . did the acdelco ep381 pump for 1996 vortec 350/5.7L spec truck . it was a direct swap on the sender for the tbi pump .

for lines i did nylon like late model vehicles use . i got a dorman master builder / repair kit . i used the compression to barb for the sender and cut off the factory bulb at the end only .

then ran my lines and installed my fittings and full pressure test when i was done before i set my body on and she has been great now for over 3k miles prob close to 4k miles now .
