Unhappy Re: 5.3 SWAP Wiring Problem

OK, First, I WAS WRONG. There that's out of the way. It started. Come to find out I had the fuel pump wired backwards. I knew it would be something stupid and easy. and it was. Each terminal is different sized. Ones large and one is small. Naturally I assumed the Large on was the positive. I was wrong (dang said that twice) the little one is positive. Once I swapped it. It fired right up.
Now to hook up oil pressure and water temp gauges and then a trip to the muffler shop! IT's LOUD!!!

Oh and yes it was labeled which was positive and negative, however at 10 pm on a saturday night, under a truck, in the dark, it's hard to remember to look and verify it.

I wanted to Thank everyone who chimed in and offered help. they were all great idea's. Now on to the next step!
