In what way is it dangerous? I'm curious because over the summer, my wife and I wound up having to jump the relay under the dash to ground to get the fuel pump to work on our '69 Squareback. 

Funny thing was, when we got the car, it had a "D" ECU with all "B" FI parts and the pump did it's 2-3 second prime thing. Once we changed the ECU over to a "B", the pump wouldn't prime. We tried three different "B" ECU's and no change. Meaning either we had three ECU's which happened to "break" in the exact same way or wire #19 went bad somewhere. We tested it for continuity from the engine to the dash and the wire checked out fine. Strange. 

I guess all of this is a long way of asking if we should be looking to remedy this jump to ground situation in the near future because it presents a danger of some sort?

Thanks, 

Dan.
