I think the Idea of the oil pressure switch was incase of a hard impact or 
roll over the motor would stall and the electric pump could keep pumping 
fuel without the switch. Most of the newer cars have a timer built into the 
computer to run the pump for a few sec to bring up fuel. A carb car should 
get gas pertly quick and start but an inj car needs lots of pressure so the 
pump has to run right away.
You could put a small pushbutton in for a by-pass to prime it. Some old gas 
powered trucks (big) had a momentary toggle on the dash to "prime" the carb. 
You shouldn't have to fill the carb as acc pump pulls off the bottom not the 
top.
