I just put one on my 1940 180, and it came from Car Quest. I installed it quickly (well... I had a lot of help), inline. When it starts to vapor lock, I flip the switch until it's back to normal, then right off. I also use it to prime, when it hasn't been run for more than a week or so.

It must be a pulse type fuel pump. Those can be drawn thru by the up front mechanical pump whereas the rotary vane (Carter, Holley) cannot.</p>
<p>I leave mine on all the time since one can never tell when the dreaded vapor lock might occur at an inopportune moment.</p>
