Wiring Electric Fuel Pump

[cobra-6]

Where is a good source for switched power in the engine deck. I want to hook up a Carter Fuel pump. It's low amp so I don't need a relay.
Thanks

Found this interesting from webercarbs.com

"A Proper Electric Fuel pump will give the best performance and most stable tuning for any Weber carb application. We use only High Volume and Low Pressure pumps. Weber's work best at approx 4 psi of fuel pressure (Not 2 psi like many of the older books stated.) and you need Volume not Pressure to keep the float bowl full.

We ONLY use the Carter Rotary pumps. They are High Volume (60-70 GPH) but only 4 psi. This is PERFECT for all Weber applications from a Single 32/36 DGV on a Truck, Jeep or Car to a Triple Sidedraft setup on a Road Race car making 300 HP...This pump DOES NOT and SHOULD NOT use a Pressure Regulator for any reason. That is why we use it...."

Mine was wired into the hot wire side of the coil, that way is runs with the key. Is this what you were looking for?

That's exactly what I was looking for. Any downside to using the coil for a source??

The coil should be an ok source. Mu thing has always been the possibel risk of that pump continuing to supply fuel to a motor that is not turning in the event of a carb float issue or broken fuel line. Man, what a fire you could have. Just be careful, and be real sure the mechanical one isn't a viable option.
