When no power is applied to the relay 30 is connected to 87a:

When power is connected to the relay's energizing coil (85, 86) 30 is connected to 87:

Place inertial switch between relay out (87) and fuel pump +.

In schematic above (JamesWnew's post) the terminals for the FP relay shown are:
Left - 86
Right - 85
Top - 87
Bottom - 30
(87a not used)

Just to confirm I understand.....


Battery to 30
Ignition to 86
Ground to 85
87 out to the inertia switch
Correct

Put a 14 or 16 AWG fusible link (or a 20A fuse) on the wire to 30 where it connects to the battery (usually at the starter relay Bat+)

another question.....is the inertia switch always after the relay?
That is how Ford does it.
