Yes, it can, Alex. I have such an arrangement on my BJ8: a negative ground
SU in series with an Autozone electric pump and a Single-Pole Double-Throw
switch under the driver's side of the dash. I can select either pump, or
neither. I drove out to San Diego on one pump, and back on the other. It
also works great as an anti-theft system. I have run out of gas several
times in hotel parking lots because I forgot I turned off the pumps for the
night. With both pumps off, the engine will start but only run for about a
minute or so.

Subject: [Healeys] Fuel pump question
The subject of auxiliary fuel pumps has been covered a great deal, I know,
but I have a question.
Can a pump such as the NAPA or Facet be installed in-line with the existing
SU pump on my BT7, but not be powered until needed. That is, will it operate
similarly to the SU pump, in a pump-through or pull-through mode---without
power?
