I finally got the fuel pump mounted now I need to figure out how to wire it in. I would like to just keep it simple and wire it to a switch on the dash so I can manually turn it on and off when I need to. Keep in mind that im the worlds worst electrician. Thanks.

Best to mount a relay close to pump, fuse the power line to relay based on what current the pump draws. You can pick up power off the horn relay buss. Then you can run smaller, like 18-20g wire from relay inside to switch. I would pick up power to the switch from an ignition source off the fuse box. That way if you forget to turn off the pump when you turn of the car the pump will still shut off. Or skip the switch and just run from ignition source in the fuse box right to the relay.
