Thier part number RLY-1 will get you everything you need.

Yes, MAD Electrical is the place to go. It's commonly reported that if you can get Mark on the phone he'll talk your ear off. The Tech Book is also a good purchase for someone who want's to learn more about wiring. The MAD website actually has a paragraph saying that the best value is purchasing the tech book and a relay kit because of the wiring books you get.

i'm ready to wire my electric fuel pump,water pump,and fan.i need some insight on wiring procedures.do i need relay's? Yes you need relays for all three items. If running duel fans, each needs its own relay.

if so where can i get the proper information i need?
books,mag. website? also any of your ideas might be better.tell me what you did.thanks gary 69' Chevelle
Right here in this forum, either by posting or searching and the links mentioned above. Is this for a street car, street/strip car or drag only car. For basic relay wiring using a Bosch style relay, see pic

There are many options when wiring these type of items. You can have just manual control (like with a toggle switch) automatic control (like the fuel and water pump be on when the key is on, or in the case of fans, by a temp sensor) or both automatic and manual control. Automatic and manual control is best for a street/strip car. You don't want to be flipping a bunch of switches every time you drive the car, and have manual control over the fan and water pump (for cooling your engine in the staging lanes) Determine how you want to control these items first, and it will be easier to plan the wiring. Another thing to look at is the charging system, the original charging system was marginal with no add ons. with the addition of there items, you will probably need at least a 100 amp alternator and a upgraded alternator charge wire. It is important for street and street/strip car to charging the battery at idle and slower speeds. Just post what you want to do and the regulars here in electrical can help you.

thanks for the replies,i will get the kits from the web site .and also will post for your help ,when i get to each unit.thanks gary
