I'd wire it up to the white wire on the fuse block. I'd add an inline fuse
with a 2 or 3 amp fuse (check the pump manufacturer's data on current draw
and double it). If you want to be really fancy (actually, I highly
recommend it) go to the local wrecking yard and get an impact switch off of any
modern car and mount it somewhere and wire it so that it will shut off the pump
in the event of an accident. Note the orientation of the switch in the
original application and mount it the same way in your car.
