A number of folks at VTR suggested I replace my mechanical fuel pump
with a low pressure electric pump to better feed the Webers. In the
interest of safety, how could the electric pump be wired to guarantee
its shutoff in the event of a collision? I heard one concept about
routing the wiring through the oil pressure sensor, which sounded nifty.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

PS BTW the intermittent power loss I suffered a few weeks back turned
out to be the mechanical fuel pump ( now replaced), which apparently was
slowly going bad to the point where it could not keep up with the Webers
at idle. The bowls would go almost dry before I'd drive off and the call
for fuel under acceleration would finish off what fuel was left thus
causing a power loss to follow until the fuel would begin to flow back
into the bowls under higher RPM pressure. Nasty little problem to find.
Thanks to all the listers who helped me bracket my way through the
systems to isolate it.
