Thanks for all the input. I've changed things up, and won't need one. I'm going to run a fuel pump off of the dry sump.

Thanks again for all the responses!

For clarification, You'll still need a fuel shut off just not the inertia or oil pressure type.

Dave that's a great answer. Do what meets the rules and what makes you feel safer. I have no idea what the current load is on one of the Ford switches if someone is using it directly in the circuit and like the oil pressure switch to a relay. The only draw back to any system is it's preventative maintenace especially with relays in a salt atmosphere....................JD
