The following steps are typical of most installations:
1. Once the engine has been allowed to cool, relieve the fuel system pressure and disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Raise the vehicle and support it with jack stands.
3. Find a suitable place on the engine or chassis to mount the Aeromotive fuel pump. Make sure the location will
accommodate the pump mounting bracket, will position the pump as low as possible, is clear of the exhaust, is clear of
any moving suspension or drivetrain components and will keep the pump clear of track obstructions or debris.
Note: Be sure to route all fuel lines clear of any moving suspension or drivetrain components, and any exhaust
components! Protect fuel lines from abrasion and track obstructions or debris.
4. Acquire a 14-tooth, timing belt pulley for the crankshaft, a 28-tooth timing belt pulley for the pump and a ½” wide timing
belt of the desired length. Call Aeromotive for details on mounting kits.
5. Determine which direction the fuel pump shaft will rotate. The direction the shaft is rotated will determine which port is
the inlet and which is the outlet. Using Figure 1a & 1b as a reference identify the fuel pump inlet and outlet ports. If the
fuel pump shaft is rotated in a clockwise direction as viewed from the rear of the pump the inlet and outlet ports will be
as shown in Figure 1a. If the fuel pump shaft is rotated in a counter-clockwise direction the inlet as shown in figure 1a
now becomes the outlet and the outlet in figure 1a is now the inlet, this is shown in figure 1b.

6. Connect the fuel cell sump to the fuel filter inlet, we recommend using fuel filter Aeromotive p/n 12304 or 12302,
utilizing a minimum of AN-10 steel braided fuel line. Next, connect the fuel filter outlet to the fuel pump inlet utilizing a
minimum of AN-10 steel braided fuel line, refer to Figure 1 for determining the fuel pump inlet.
7. Connect the fuel pump outlet to the vehicle’s fuel system. Make sure you use high pressure (1000 psi minimum)
fuel line for this connection!
Note: Be sure to route all fuel lines clear of any moving suspension or drivetrain components, and any exhaust
components! Protect fuel lines from abrasion and track obstructions or debris.
