One thing that should be noted when installing an electric fuel pump is that if you should have an accident or a roll over that the pump will keep on pumping as long as the ignition is 'ON'. Therefore, I would recommend that some sort of 'Inertia interrupter' or rollover switch, be installed to shut off the fuel pump for this very reason. For a couple bucks at the wreckers, you can usually find one a late model Mustang, located in the trunk area by removing some of the trim panels by the left tail light you'll see a small plastic box with two wires and a red reset button. Install this inline from the pump to the ignition switch and you'll have the same protection as the newer Ford cars enjoy.
