Doing a major rebuild on my car.
brand new 347. redoing ALL the wiring.
Old motor melted down due to the water pump not running (i wasnt driving). 100% driver fault.. not the water pump itself.. never got switched on.
Anyways
I Had the water pump wired to my switch panel in my ashtray, i flicked it on when i drove and off when i parked.
Now, to prevent that from happening again... Id like to wire it to turn on and off with the motor.. and still be able to manually turn it on with my ashtray if i want to cool off at the track.
Anybody have any clues how to do this? a relay diagram? where do i wire it for a key on/off with the motor.. i thought about the alternator which is a summit 100 amp.. i think that would fry it?
Its a mezzuire(sp?) pump with a idler pulley if that matters
Thanks
Derek
