• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

They're a pretty cool bunch of guys.

They did the frame off restoration on my old man's 1931 Chevy AE Independence stove pot 6
 




Well finally found the fuel pump problem. Just lucky it didn't burn to the ground.

There's a reason that I drill a hole and rtv seal 2 12gauge wires....metripack 150 (1.5mm) terminals aren't good at higher current


Those terminals are rated for 20 Amps. No way a properly working system, even a high performance one draws that much. There was some catastrophic failure or physical damage. I would check that the rating on the fuse isn't over 15A then throw some dielectric grease on a new connector. Less chance of corrosion and easier to deal with.
 


As I understand it, this is the reason GM went to the 4-flat connector.

I thought it was more to do with space saving. I've run industrial heating at 15Amps 120V thorough the same terminals with no issues. It could have been a massive power surge or a defect in that particular connector but I highly doubt the connector is to blame. Could be wrong, I'm not an expert or anything, just throwing out thoughts
 
14 amps...... but it's also sort of telling that all of the updates and all of the newer Vehicles use the flat 4 wire Metra pack 280 connectors for all fuel system units..... this kind of sort of tells you that even GM noticed that the 150 suck
 


Interesting! I wonder how you would change the connector on the fuel pump size wether you'd have to buy a different in-tank module or not. That being said, quote: "any residual damage to the connector mayresult in a voltage drop across the module and can lead to repeat failures." which in means that the connector would have to be damaged in some way to fail that way. However the other connector does look to be a better design. You should be safe with either as long as you inspect the connector to make sure nothing is broken off.
