I used a digital volt meter to determine which hole of the plug was positive or negative. Yes, I did use a bullet connector and simply inserted it into the original plug.
I took a look at it today. It looks like my pump is 1/4” npt (Male). I used an adaptor on each end, that goes to compression fitting. I cut the original copper fuel line and inserted the whole pump and adaptor assembly into the section I cut out. It’s still working perfectly.
Update, I found that my FDC was malfunctioning and it was restricting my fuel rate too much. I bypassed my fdc and my truck now runs 100% at full load and full RPMs.
The airtex pump seems to be performing fine now.
I still have concerns about the lower flow rate as the fuel flow does...
fwiw, Airtex manufactures almost all of the brand named pumps you will buy.(Except Facet)
The in-tank pump flows about 3 times the volume that the engine needs at full load.
As I said, this particular truck ran like poo without a functioning in-tank pump(a sign of something else weak). But...
