I'm starting from scratch. Using a Magnafuel pump, 4 wheel disc brakes, and a Painless race wiring panel/harness. I would like to see your setups to get an idea of how you routed your stuff. The more pics the better! Photos from this site have been VERY valuable to my build up to this point. Thanks!!

Yes ..
-10 up and back , Kyle Fickler then worked for Aeromotive and told me how it should be done
Notice, fliter AFTER the pump, I asked over and over are you SURE ?? Yep ..Not even a pre=screen ??Nope ,cause air bubbles
buttttt..Your instructions say ????
Ignore it do it this way ??
So, it will cause a fight , and I don't even like to post tech anymore cause everyone has there way ..
I did it the way he told me ..

I didn't wire my cuda, so I can't help with that. I will offer a couple suggestions though, consider servicing it! Examples are a loop of all the dash wires and all the switch panel wires, so they can be hung down and swivelled for service. Wire the components (water pump, Alt, starter, Dist, Fuel pump, etc.) so you can remove them and set them aside without disconnecting. Don't have the wires going in 2 different directions if possible. Make sure low level signal wires are not bundled with high amp or high noise wires. The ignition should not be bundled with the alt, fuel pump, water pump. On items where the common diagnosis is "replace with known good unit and retest" like ignition modules and relays, consider how easily they can be replaced. If you are using any small sub-harnesses like a fan connector, the standard is to run the hot wire to the female connector, so when it's disconnected, it can't short out. Mount wiring so it can be checked with a test light without moving the component if possible.
Most race cars are wired without main harness connectors. If you are doing that, make sure you will be able to trace each wire. You don't want to have to disconnect everything on that end of the harness to pull it out enough to diagnose. If you do use main connectors, split them up to have all the heavy circuits on one and the low circuits on another. Again, have the female connector on the hot side.
Have all the fuses in one or two locations, and make sure you have extras easily at hand. If you are in the staging lanes for the final, a big assortment in the trailer won't help.
Consider what would happen if the heavy wires do short. Don't tie wrap them to a fuel hose, or where the heat will cause more issues. Try to avoid heat and vibration where you can.

This is like the tube/no tube in slicks discussions.
I'm running a A-1000pump with a 100 micron filter on the inlet side, 10 micron on the outlet side. 10AN up, 8AN back on an EFI system.
I've had problems with cavitation, should I remove the 100 micron pre filter?

Bigdad, it's hard to tell from the photo, is your fuel cell set up like this?
I was just wondering if you're running slightly up hill to get fuel from your cell to the pump.
