Hope this doesn't come through twice. I forgot to edit the trailer
off of my initial try.
I have both kinds in my Cobra wired in series. I also ran the
fuel pump voltage connection through a relay to limit the current
through these devices. I included a fuse in the circuit too.
I bought the inertia switch from Pegasus, BTW. Don't recall where
I got the oil pressure switch or the relay, but most of the usual
suppliers-
Summit, JEGS, etc. stock them. They all came with generic wiring
instructions.
