oGonna try it I guess I've had someone suggest it but I don't like shortcuts on a car I don't know much about is the big thing I know. I have t hook it up so that it turns on n off w the switch though but how do YOU suggest I check to see if the gray wire is grounded
Using either a digital or analog ohm meter, place one lead on the terminal (grey wire) and place the other on a known good ground. Usually a spot on the body whee there is are metal. If the is any reading on the meter other than O.L or "infinity" then the wire is shorted to ground. The bypass method will ensure you have power to the pump and allow you to see if the engine will actually run. Once you verify it will run on the pump the you can make proper repairs to the circuit. Ive seen peoe chase their tails for weeks trying to figure out whats wrong with a wire when there was a mechanical issue with the car. Start there and lemme know if u have any questions.
If it don't fit force it, if it don't force fit f&%@ it!
I would also recommend finding a factory manual it will come in handy older project vehicles can be fun and tormenting as well at times. The manual will be a good investment if for nothing else but your sanity. And when your ready to put a match to it walk away and regroup and you'll get it figured out.
Haha I'm not setting anything in fire it will be done by the way it analog ohms is 053.5
And I have the manual that came w the car from the dealer new but no help
Ok so u have continuity between the power wire and ground. Im assuming you have also checked for voltage on this wire? ;) someone has probably inadvertently used this wire for something its not intended for or the alarm has it grounded. Either way just bypass it with a similar gauge wire and see if it fires up. Shotgun diagnosis I know but since you dont really know the state of the engine other than what you were told Id get it running then go back and spend time tracing the affected wiring.

yes had voltage I'm gonna try it I'll get bk to you
What if there's no 2 sec prime from gray wire
