Is this safe, or even neccassary?? 
Here's the deal. Just bought the car, an LT1 T/A.
Having fuel pressure issues causing it not to start.
Pulled the pump, and the suction hose was coming off the pump, clamps not even tight. Fixed it, fired right up.
Then I notice this little wiring gem.
I dont know what kind of pump was installed (owner said it was installed less than 2 months ago.)
I thought a good aftermarket pump came with a wiring harness that didnt need to be spliced??
May be this one did? I'm concerned over the safety of butt connectors sitting submerged in a tank of fuel.
If it's safe i'm going to re-do the ground connection, cause the butt connector used is way too big for the wire gauge, and may be causing my fuel sending unit problems.
Crimp connectors are definitely a half-assed way to wire the pump. The correct wiring is not that expensive & included in the Racetronix kits.
I've seen many of these crimp connectors blackened from a poor connection.
Also the rubber line about as bad as the wire job. If it is regular fuel hose it will likely get brittle & crack. Even the good submersible rubber hose goes bad over time.
I have good pump kits with all wiring & correct factory style flex hoses if you want to upgrade.

Lonnie, I maybe interested in upgrading/improving this mess, depending on price. I didn't see a price on your site for just the single pump Racetronix kit with Hot Wire harness. Shoot me a PM with price if you can.
