Re: Help with hooking up an electric pump.

If you were going to run a "full time" electric fuel pump instead of the mechanical pump, then I would recommend using a fuel-pump cut off switch from any modern car. You could probably pull one out of a junkyard car. Basically its a swtich that cuts disconnects the power to the fuel pump if it feels a strong impact. You could mount it in the kick panel space. I have seen it mounted there on some newer cars.

I plan on using a "Flow-thru" electic fuel pump on my car to prime the carb, and also take car of any vapor-lock issues that may arrise. But it will be wired on a momentary switch which takes it power from a switched source.
