Love it. One week of mornings , doing hand stands in the garage, before the daily heat pushed me out, and ... I have it installed under the gas tank up front. Then wired in a Revolution Electronics relay. After re-adusting the carbs, ... it has never run better.
Thanks for all the advice guys!

Congratulations!
Excellent fix, Carlos! 
Booyah.
Did you have to use the diode with the Revolution relay? My relay would continue to repeat the 3 second pre-run cycle. You could hear the relay click, but the pump continued running. I added the diode across the pos and neg power wires and it functions correctly.
I appreciate that info James. No not yet. Mine is working perfectly , so far, without that diode. But I have it in a zip lock safly tucked away, just in case...
Up date on the electronic fuel pump with the Revolution relay. Still loving it. But after a couple of months the pump started running too long after initial ignition. Supposed to cut off after 3 - 7 seconds. Mine worked fine at first, but after a few months, it simply would not stop running . I ended up having to go back in and add the "diode" that they send with the relay. Easy to install. I don't know why they simply do not say to install it. Works perfectly now. So if you get one, save yourselves some trouble and just install the diode from the beginning.

Mine did the same thing. I wish the diode was built into the circuit.
Hi Guys. I have an electronic fuel pump but it's not a rotary. I get the feeling that most of you guys think the rotary type is better. It's an american made positive displacement (apparently used in aircraft) and puts out at around 5-6 psi. I later, thanks to this site, found that I should have about 3 psi (Weber). I fitted a regulator and set it at 3 psi but trial and error showed that 2.5 psi was just fine. Later I fitted an "impact" switch that turns the pump off due to an impact, i.e. crash. Been fine for a few years now. I also wired it into a switch (GPS position device) that allows me to turn off the fuel pump from my mobile phone. It works on the standard mobile phone system and I can turn it off from anywhere that my mobile works.

It's hard to argue against a pump that costs $46 on Amazon, supplies enough gas for 200 hp, and is compact, quiet, and requires no regulator.
I'm not sure why I'd need to turn on or shut off my fuel pump from my phone, but I completely understand the desire for cool stuff.
Turn off the fuel pump is to stop the guys who steal it !!
Zakly! You'll never need it, but nice to have.
It's part of a GPS location system. I should be able to locate the car anywhere in the world provided the SIM in the car works in the country it's located. There's one more function I can wire up. I planned to wire in an alarm that I could activate remotely but havent got round to it.
I had a mechanical pump and when I went to a rotary pump I ended up finding out that at high speed my mechanical pump was not keeping up with the needs of the engine ... funny how stuff happens.
