electric fuel pump safety

Vitamin c said

What are your guys opinions on running an elec. fuel pump without the safety of an oil presure switch? it seems unsafe to me to just wire it in with the key switch. I have both a new high performace carter manual, and a new Holley blue pump. Im having a 408 assembled and the machine shop says go electric. what are your thoughts

Ask your self what your trying to do. If wiring in an oil pressure switch to kill the electric fuel pump if you loose oil pressure is your intent, remember your going to have to by pass it on start up. You also said your running a mechanical pump, that pump will cancel out anything your trying to accomplish with the pressure switch to the electric pump.

I'm using just an electric pump wired thru a relay and run thru a toggle that is only hot with the key on, but has to be turned on to energize the pump.
Just my 2 cents.
