Connects the FPWH-076HD harness to a fuel pump hanger with a 3-position Weather Pack connector
The FPWH-076HD HD fuel pump harness has a 3-position Metri-Pack 280 output connector. Factory Turbo Buick hangers, older Racetronix hangers and many aftermarket hangers still use a 3-position Weather Pack connector. This short adapter plugs in between the two, so you can run the HD harness without changing your hanger.
Which adapter do you need?
| Your harness | Your hanger | Adapter |
|---|---|---|
| Racetronix FPWH-076HD (Metri-Pack 280 output) | Weather Pack connector (factory, older Racetronix or aftermarket) | FPAH-077 (this item) |
| Older harness with a Weather Pack output (older Racetronix or most competitor harnesses) | Racetronix HD hanger with a Metri-Pack 280 connector | FPAH-076 |
| Racetronix FPWH-076HD | Racetronix FPS-G7 EQ-series hanger with a Metri-Pack 280 connector | None. Plugs in directly. |
The FPS-G7255EQ and FPS-G7255EQ2 hangers already include an FPAH-077 in the box.

Weather Pack connectors are limited to about 20 A. With high-output pumps they can run very warm, cost pump performance and eventually fail. The adapter makes the connection work, but it can’t raise the hanger connector’s rating. For high-output pumps, a Racetronix FPS-G7 EQ-series hanger with the Metri-Pack 280 connection built in is the better long-term fix.
This adapter is not designed to power a high-performance fuel pump hanger from the factory fuel pump wiring. Doing so will void all warranties.
Frequently asked questions
I bought an FPS-G7255EQ or FPS-G7255EQ2 hanger. Do I need to order this?
No. Those hangers ship with an FPAH-077 in the box.
I have an older harness with a Weather Pack output and a new Racetronix HD hanger. Is this the right adapter?
No. That combination needs the FPAH-076, which goes the opposite direction.
Can I plug my hanger straight into the factory wiring with this?
No. The adapter is meant to sit between a Racetronix hotwire harness and the hanger. Factory pump wiring can’t carry the current a high-performance pump needs, and using it this way voids all warranties.
