Look in the Holley catalog, they also have the switch and wiring diagram.

Re: electric fuel pump

Here is a diagram from Mercruiser using an oil pressure switcht to put power to the fuel pump when there is oil pressure. Note, there is power to the pump when the starter is engaged. This is necessary if the engine doesn't start the first time or the fuel has leaked or evaporated out of the carb.
