I am moving my fuel pump from an up front location to a better up front location. The PO ran the power wire through a hole in the passenger foot well. I don't like that idea. Is there a better option that routes from the fuse box to in or around the steering rack area?

FYI...

The factory 1975-76 cars used a single black/red stripe equivalent to 12 gage wire from the relay board to the fuel pump in the front tank well, and a separate 12 gage brown cable to a lug welded to the chassis in the tank well.

Just extending the original 17 gage black/red wire from the original engine firewall location is a problem, insufficient ampacity.

Relocating then FP more forward than the front tank well increases a fire problem risk in a front end crash.
