MSD atomic EFI with dual tanks
« on: March 13, 2015, 10:23:45 PM »
I'm putting MSD atomic EFI on my 87 with dual tanks. On the MSD wiring harness, there is one wire that needs to go to the fuel pump. I'm not totally sure where I would connect that wire to, but i'm guessing it would go to pink wire on the dash mounted fuel tank selector switch that comes from the ignition. Anyone know if this is correct?

The factory setup on a TBI engine is for the ECM to signal the relay to turn on the pump.  The switch determines which pump.

So I found a more complete diagram, what is a fuel module, and where is it located on the truck? Does my truck even have one?
so many questions.

Your truck won't have a fuel module unless it is a 1Ton truck.  Not sure since you didn't say...
