Thanks TitaniumTT.

I thought the stock fuse for the fuel pump (fuse block in driver side footwell) was a 20A. It's hard for me to gauge (no pun intended) the size of that wire just by eyeballing it, but I agree, it's pretty thin looking. I was just following Chuck Westbrook's guide with the choice of fuse.

Regardless, I'm gonna try starting it up tomorrow. Just finished installing a new lid w/ connector I got from David Jerome (that man has saved the day for me many times) and was able to see fuel pressure up to normal.

No explosions so I'm hoping all is well.
