Anyone with any common sense should agree that this is how these cars should have come from the factory with an access panel so that dropping the tank in the suspension and exhaust could all be avoided!! I'm going to be doing this soon to my 94 Firehawk and I don't feel bad about it whatsoever!!! Great video.😇⚡🔥🦅
Just outta curiosity, why didn’t you just use the gray old gray wire for the power and then use the same ground to power the pump? That way you didn’t have to drill into the top hat or wire the rest of it?
Question for you on this, my 16 year old worked and bought himself a 86 Camaro for a project car, 2.8 v6 thankfully, you know how teenagers are, anyway fuel pump is bad, opened it all up pulled it out and found the wires inside twisted together with wire nuts, is it safe?
I wouldn't recommend leaving it that way. Esp. if you already have it pulled apart and have access. If you dont want to use a solder gun and heat shrink., I have seen butt splices (if i remember correctly) that you can crimp and has a bit of solder and heat shrink tubing as part of the butt splice. you can use a lighter (?) to melt and finish the joint. Dont take shortcuts when you already at this point, No matter how easy you think it is now, you will not want to pull that pump out again...
Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it, I saw your comment this morning and my son and I got right to it, we soldered it and heat shrinked it the way you did and it worked out really well, I appreciate you taking the time to comment and let me know 😎😎😎

All the hate I hear when people do this kills me... Thanks for the support 👍
@@dilligaf9199 I just don't get why people would want to go through all of that when it can be avoided by simply making an access panel.🤷

If i remember correctly, the black and grey were a smaller gauge wire than what I was wanting. That, and I already had that fancy connector made up.
Should stagger the cuts in lines?
If you're referring to stagger cut the tubing, your right, it made it tough to squeeze fittings in there

Fyi it's totally safe. I've had mine wire nutted for years. And to prove my point, you drove it home like that right? 🤷♂️
Your sub frame twisted, where? Where we cut to replace fuel pump 😅
Fuel pump was located internal to the tank
You did buy vibrant. Good choice
Thanks
I didn't see anything protecting the plastic interior being showered with spark 😢
I was only worried about catching carpet on fire
