The black wire connects to the (-) on the coil (if your car is neg
earth) and the red wire goes to the hot (where the white wire from the
harness attaches) side of the resistor.

There are only 2 fuses. A1, A2 , A3 and A4 refers to the ends of each
fuse. If you look on your fuse block you will see them in the plastic.

It attaches to a fitting. The original is steel, I think, but it's no
longer available in steel so you'll have to use brass. It uses a
ferrule (sp?), look inside the pump and you will see the seat.

You can get new ones from SS. Go to Smitty's to have it cut to fit,
though. They don't come properly sized and Smitty has a die that makes
cutting easy. He also has original type stainless steel clamps for the
"T".

Ask Bob Willis who he sold his to. I believe that car was a near
original SIII.
