I run the original type mechanical pump, backed up by a Facet self regulating pump made by Purolater in NY, USA. I run a wire from the fuse block to a toggle switch under the dash, through a green on light on the dash to the pump. The light is on when the pump is on, plus I can hear it change pitch when the pump is primed. I use it only for priming the mechanical pump, and as backup. No vapor lock experience in that car. Facet pumps are reasonably priced, about $35,, with various options for the GPM and pressure you want. Carried by Aircraft & Spruce, used for experimental aircraft if that tells you anything about the reliability.
