Wire it all together
Whats the best way to wire my fuel pump and two fans in my 73 vette?? I currently have two relays. One for each fan. Should i get a third for the fuel pum?? All three would power by the battery right?? Would that be crazy to have three red wires gong to the fuse box?? Nothing is connected now.

separate
Each device (3) should have it's own circuit wiring and fuse. That way if one device has a problem and blows the fuse it doesn't affect the others.

So its ok to have more than one wire coming out of the battery post??? And to the ignition source???

1 wire from the battery to a junction block. Run your power to your relays from there. Make sure you fuse the power to the junction block as close to the battery as possible and each relay circuit should also have a properly sized fuse.

Junction block can have a hot all the time and a hot with ignition on. If you are not sure what you are doing you should find someone who knows to help you. You can easily burn the car down by doing things wrong.

Considering all the items you want to power, I would take a look at the relay block products from Painless Performance and buy whatever matches your needs. They provide good directions for how to wire them and there are many variations to choose from.
