Hey guys! So, my rig came with a Holley electric pump but not plumbed or wired up. How do you guys have yours? I heard it should be low and as close to the pick up as possible. Do you run a relay? Thanks!!

I don't run a relay. On two Wags it is wired to the cigarette lighter circuit. On another, it was on the choke circuit until the choke wire shorted out. Then I moved it to the circuit for the ignition module. Not sure how the J20 is wired. They are all mounted on the left fame rail just in front of the tank.
I always run relays to the fuel pump, but all of my rigs are TBI and the relays are part of the harness.
It's a good idea to run a couple of relays to power the FP, but like Flint said, it's not required. You need to put it on a fused circuit though.
You want to put that pump as close to the tank as possible. Tuck it inside the frame rail and secure it well. Don't forget to put a filter between the tank the pump. (and then don't forget to carry a spare filter)
