While I was responding I see Joe stepped up with info too. I used 12 Gauge for ALL the fuel pump wiring. Remember, wire is like a garden hose: the bigger the gauge (diameter), the more it will flow. If the wire is too thin (18-20 Gauge) it's nothing more than a fuse.... waiting to light up. Otherwise good advice was added by suggesting buying a relay kit from Jegs or Summit, provided they supply decent wire and connectors. And speaking of connectors, solder the damn things on. Crimp-on connectors you use on the side of the road to get home, NOT to build a car with. Shrink wrapping those solder joints is a good idea too.
A mantra I used when building my car was "There's no kill like OVERKILL". I deliberately over-engineered certain things to prevent future headaches in areas that I wouldn't want to re-build, such as wiring and fuel line plumbing.
