get a 12v 30A relay napa#AR279SB or any other relay. bosch is popular. i had one laying around. it can be 4 or 5 prong. we dont use the prong in the middle, so its all good.
get an oil pressure cut off / kill switch. napa#A68301. there are others out there too, get a 3 prong switch with (S)tarter (I)gnition and (P)ump connections.
get a spool of 10AWG stranded wire. dont get solid core wire. my car is 18' long so i got two spools...
get a box of wire terminal connectors. you need 7 to connect the switch and relay. You also need some fork or loop connectors for your GND and + wires.
Get a (depending on pump amps) 5A inline fuse. With the relay we are going to dedicate power to the pump so it doesnt have to draw off some other thing.
A bit of teflon tape for the brass threads at the oil pressure hookup.
1/8" Brass T and extension tube from lowes plumbing section.
i extended off my existing oil pressure gauge hookup spot on the top rear of the block by the firewall. I got a brass T and a 6" long 1/8" male/male brass tube. the bottom of the T with 6" extension goes to block, one side goes back to my regular oil gauge, and the other side is where the pressure kill switch is.
switch:
(S) = i wired to starter solenoid. This will run the pump when you are cranking.
(I) = i wired this to the heater fuse in the fuse box. Something that comes on only when the key is turned and you are driving down the road.
(P) = this is going to go to the relay #86
