    Alarm capacitor 4.3L

    I have not wired one this type but would guess cut the purple wire feeding the alarm and connect to 2 connects. The remaining contact gets grounded. 12V power is applied and after given amount of time the relay energizes and makes the connection

    Fuel dumping in 5.0 cobra 1994 mechanical pump, not electric.
