On a manual tranny '70 there are 2 red wires going to the relay (in addition to the 2 in the plastic plug), but there are 3 terminals on the relay. Two of the relay terminals are actually connected together inside the relay; your 2 wires must be connected to those 2 terminals. So all you have to do is to move one of the red wires to a different terminal on the relay. Once you do this you should just put your hand on the fuel pump relay while you turn the key ON. You should feel that relay click closed and then release a second later. If you feel this, then you know that BOTH relays are working correctly. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
