[QUOTE="dodgerammit, post: 441940, member: 21375"] Okay, you definitely want the strainer. I just drilled a small hole in the top of the factory sending unit plate (make sure nothing important is on the other side) and used a rubber wire grommet just big enough for the 2 wires to slip through. Do not just wrap the wiring. This is automotive, not house. Use crimp style wire connectors. Go to your local auto parts store and buy a crimp style wire connector assortment. It'll have assorted connectors (butt, female/male spade, and eyelets) in the different gauges. Red=18-22, Blue=14-16, and Yellow is 10-12 gauge. Here is what you're looking for: [URL]https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/dorman-conduct-tite/dorman-conduct-tite-22-10-gauge-splice-terminals/cti0/86694?q=Wire+connector+kit&pos=0[/URL] Buy a decent wire strip/crimp tool tool (you don't have to go fancy, just a basic one version). This one will do just fine for what you need [URL]https://www.amazon.com/VISE-GRIP-Stripping-Cutter-8-Inch-2078309/dp/B000JNNWQ2/?tag=yjforum-20[/URL] You'll use the eyelet connectors to connect to the pump. Back the tiny nuts off the studs, and slide the eyelet connector on underneath the lock washers and tighten the nuts back down. Yes, the plastic bag in the picture is a dust cover to keep crap out of the pump while sitting in the shop. [/QUOTE]
