Default Fuel pump issues.

IM working on a car for a customer and this is the first time I have run across this problem.
The customer had his fuel pump replaced elsewhere before I got it. SInce then we have done a lot of mods to the car and its time for a fuel pump and hot wire kit. This is where the problem lies. The people who change the pump before me replaced it with a Airtex unit and its one of those pumps that requires you to cut the factory plug off and wire theirs on. Now the racetronix hot wire kit will not plug into the pump nor will the car harness plug into the racetronix harness. Ive been searching everywhere for a factory plug. I now have a factory pump assymbly but no plug for the factory harness. Or it looks like I can unplug the harness from the body and pump and change the whole thing but my problem is I cant seem to find them. Does anyone know where to get this plug or factory harness for the fuel pump?

No sir. That is the plug on the pump assymbly itself. I need the other side of the connect on the car harness that plugs into that. Someone put a airtex pump in and the airtex had a longer flater plug and comes with a plug that requires you to cut the plug off the car and wire their plug onto it.

So yea that is the plug im referring to but I need the side that plugs into that one in the picture. Turns out caspers dident have the one I needed or at least they were clueless on the phone about it and I don't wanna order a lot of plugs to find the right one.

We do not recommend converting the 280-series connector back to a 150-series connector unless you are using our hotwire harness FPWK-017W

That's exactly what im trying to do. Im trying to put your hot wire kit on the car but the connector has been changed. Will the first link you sent do what I need to convert back so it all plugs in?

Never mind. I need the second link.

I have had good luck with Ballenger Motor Sports.
Site is easy to navigate look up connectors by number of positions.
Reasonable prices too.
