46 ford electric fuel pump

[Deuce Man]

My 46 vapor locked the other day as I was making a three point turn around on a very narrow country road. After a bit of embarrassment and a bottle of cold water on the carb and fuel pump I managed to get it running again. The pretty young thing in the Porsche roadster that I was holding up, wanted to know if the two of us could push it off to the side? The only bright side of this story! I just ordered a 6 volt elec. fuel pump and regulator from Speedway, as this completely solved this problem on my flathead powered 32. I would like to put the pump inline and only use it when needed. I eliminated the mechanical pump on my 32 and used the electric one exclusively. For the sake of originality on my 46, can the mechanical pump pull thru the elec pump? or should I use it all the time? how should I wire it? to the ignition switch? or to a separate switch as I did on my 32. I am sure there are a lot of variations to this relatively simple install, but I have heard of crankcases getting filled with gas etc, and want to avoid such. Thanks as always Rich
