I think you will really like your electric fuel pump. Having gone through this I have a couple of general comments: Install the oil pressure switch and relay so the pump will only run with oil pressure or when cranking. A push button or spring loaded toggle switch that bypasses the oil pressure switch is handy, you will be able to fill the carb before cranking. Some have left the mechanical pump and pumped through it. This works fine except I found that if the electric pump is installed per instructions with a fuel filter before it the electric pump and filter have enough restriction that the mechanical could not pump through it if the tank had less than 1/2 fuel. I removed the mechanical pump. I don't know how common it is today but if the diaphram in a mechanical pump fails fuel goes into the pan. Most old time mechanics will have stories of oil pans full of fuel and some have seen the results of the fuel exploding with the resulting fire.

I just got back on email after spending the afternoon fighting a marsh fire. I did get the pump installed this morning. I ended up mounting it on the inside of the passenger side frame rail in the forward portion of the wheel well - down low. It should be plenty safe from the axle. I still have to wire it and finish under the engine compartment. I was planning to get it finished up this afternoon, but then we had that call. I was gone over 7 hours on that, and I was wiped out when I got home. I'll get it finished up in the next day or two if the heat is bearable in the garage.
