I just ordered a DPDT center off momentary/maintained switch that I plan to have in line supplying power, though the ignition switch, to the 6V pump on my '37 and '50. That way I can prime the carb. for initial startup with momentary side of switch or have it run continuous, on the maintained side, in case of vapor lock situations. The switch can be had from Surpluscenter.com. It is item number 11-3279 and cost $3.20 + shipping. Shipping's a little steep so get a few friends together if you think it's a way to go. SPDT would work but I didn't see one, but I have a spare set of contacts if needed.
