LOL, too fat for that.............................................. ... Have you called Wells? 1-800-558-9770
I just did . I assumed they made the parts since they manufacture all sorts of sensors for cars. I called Wells Technical Support and the guy told me that "since it's a limited production part only used on the Dodge Viper, it is probably sourced from Dodge". I told him Dodge builds cars and they don't make sensors, and they buy parts like this from companies that make them, and that I assumed Wells made this part since they sell it. He acted like he got pissed and repeated what he said. He couldn't even tell me who made the connector or what type it was. I told him I obviously hit a dead end and thanks for his "help".

So I still don't have info on what the connector is and I'm sure Dodge doesn't make it. I don't know WTF they were thinking when they chose this part for this application. It's no wonder they eliminated the VSS in later years to get rid of this expensive part.
I think the Mizu mini-connector connector will work. It's $20 shipped with both halves and 8 pins, and I'm going to buy one and put it on. I'm tired of screwing around with this thing.

Unless you bore out the pump housing for an AN10 fitting, won't it still have the same result as AN8? Why doesn't your pump have an AN10 on it if that's what all pumps use? I might be wrong, but I would assume the larger return line is off the side of the tank anyway, as far as height goes. An AN10 fitting seems huge at 5/8 inch. Seems like most OE lines are only like AN6 for supply and return.

I was incorrect, the supply line to the pump is the bigger line, and the small line is for the return. Even so, AN10 supply seems bigger than needed, except on maybe a dirt track car than never stops turning for the whole race.
Weird, I just noticed that this thread had started with the title of "Firing up the 502", and now it's not.
I would be willing to bet that a Chevy VSS sensor will screw in to the port on the transmission. The Chevy connector is pretty widely available. Sold as a pigtail, but you can probably buy the connector and terminals so that you can do it without wire splices. It might even be the same connector as the Viper. Worth checking out.
On the p/s loop, most Chevys use a 3/8" inverted flare or metric o-ring line for both pressure and return to the reservoir. Maybe some are 10 mm metric. The -10 line would probably be the suction line from the remote reservoir to the pump. If somehow you can adapt from -10 to -6 you'll be good. I would run some kind of reservoir for the startup though, even if it was just tie wrapped to something. It's not that difficult.
