Hopefully this isn't another lack of sleep moment for me.

It bypasses the power supply and ground from the factory. The switch is still factory wiring.

Okay. I've been looking online but I can't find any instructions or a wiring diagram for it. How do you keep the switch tied into it all?

There should be a pigtail on the harnass that you plug the orginal harnass plug into by the pump..power is run from your alternator to the tank iirc for that rewire.

Yep. It's all plug and play. Except for the ground. You'll have to drill a hole, scrape pain away, and bolt it to the chassis.

That's perfect! Thanks guys!

Why the need for the kit? Can you just run a larger gauge wire to the pump for cheap? And larger ground wire ?

About a year and a half ago I bought a Racetronix pump and wiring kit together from a guy on ClubGP for a good deal. It's just taken me until now to have the time to work on the car. Hope to have it driving soon and back on the dyno within a month or so.

I appreciate everyone's help so far in this. Wiring isn't exactly my thing, but I've run the wiring and it's to the pump, but I don't understand how the wiring kit allows the factory wiring to be there for the switch. How do you wire the switch to the fuel pump when the wiring kit removes the factory wiring to the fuel pump?

Maybe a pic.of.your harnass? But here is one of.them..I.know they make a few different ones.

The kit is about as wsimple as it gets. Power wire goes directly on the alt, unplug your fuel pump and plug the racetronics harness in between the pump and your stock harness. Bolt the relay and ground wire to a clean piece of metal.

Okay, I realized after I installed everything that I only hooked up the power wire to the fuel pump and not the switch. Unfortunately on 95-99 Monte Carlos, there's no access hatch in the trunk like in 6th gen Montes.
This is from the factory wiring:
This is the Racetronix kit hooked up with one plug that I don't know what to do with:

The second picture is the plug you are supposed to plug your factory pump connector into. Since your monte is a gen1.5 not sure if that rewire works as its for 97and up or gen 2s. I was thinking about a rewire for my gen 1 vert which I think is similar to monte set up and could not get an answer if that would work..looks like the stock has 6 pins and harnass has 4...you may have to splice it in somehow.
04-09-2015
You put a 98venturi bucket in correct, so the harnass fit into the top of that pump..I would look at the old pump and trace the wires from that and find out which wires are sending unit, and pump power.
04-09-2015
The bucket is the stock bucket from the Monte, which is a 98 venturi bucket. It looks like I'm going to have to splice a plug in from a Grand Prix or an Impala then.
04-09-2015
Did the racetronics plug fit into.it the montes connector? If so should be same connector if thats the factory bucket..hard to tell in the pic...inthought you put a different bucket in from a previos post cauae the new bucket had evap sensor and your old one didnt.
04-09-2015
That's a good point that the wiring harness plugged right into the bucket. I'll take another look at it tomorrow. What I did was I bought a hi-flow fuel pump from someone and it was in a bucket and everything but the bucket wasn't compatible with my tank. I'm assuming the bucket that the hi-flow pump came out of went to a plastic tank. So I swapped the fuel pump into my Monte's bucket and it dropped right into the tank.

Cool, cant wait to see the build, I got that novi1000 kit going to put in my 95 vert and was wondering what rewire to run as its a pain to drop the tank lol.
04-10-2015
It is a big pain to drop this tank and I may break down and cut my own access panel out.
Anyways, thanks guys for the help. After you started talking about the buckets timboku, it made me realize that I specifically remember the Racetronix rewire kit plugging into both canisters, and if it could do that I was missing some wiring.
This was sitting on a shelf right next to my Monte:
Plugged that in and after work today I'll finish it all up and start the car. Word of advice for people: don't start a lot of projects on a car and then not touch it for 6+ months, you'll forget a bit.
Also timboku, I have a 95 Monte Z34 as a parts car and I decided to check the wiring leading down to the fuel pump. The 95 only has 4 wires where as the 98 has 6. I don't know if that will cause you any problems with the rewire, but I wanted you to know that there is a difference.

Also, I'm very interested in your project timboku. These Novi superchargers are cool. I'm really excited to see the difference power wise between the Novi 1k and the 2k that's now in my Monte.
