I see a lot of people taking about getting rid of their mechanical lift pumps and installing electric ones. What are the advantages of the electric over the mechanical?

 

Ease of bleeding when run out of fuel or filter change.
Dangerous in a wreck.

I can get the Facet Duralift pumps. You can PM me for details

 

If you are worried about it being a hazard in a wreck, you can wire in the inertia switch out of any late 80's or 90's efi Ford. Simple switch between your key on wire and a fuel pump relay trigger side. It breaks the connection in sudden impact, but you reset it by pushing a button on the top. I used to put them on hotrods I built for people as kind of a little insurance.

 

where is it mounted and what does it look like, need to find me some.

Thanks for doing what ya do!

If you look in 80's and 90's Tempos and 87-91 Crownvics, Grand Marqs etc. they are in the trunk on the left side next to the hinge.

 

Awesome, happen to know right where there is a junk CrownVic that I could steal it off if it's got it.

Thanks

I'd actually go with a manual shutoff switch, something the size of what big rigs have for the air brakes - reason I don't want an inertia switch in my truck is that when empty (so good 90% of the time) it rides much like a dump truck, and roads around here are just nasty, so I'd hate to have my engine shut off on me just cause I hit some big pothole at full speed.

 

that is tje down side of these switches, in much of any inpact, they will trigger, potholes AND speedbumps have both been known to trigger them

 

For what I want it for it'll do just what I need, I want it easy to trip and shutdown.

You mean with the hotrods? Oh yeah, that's given there, these things are great safety switches if hidden well.
