Just wire it to switch on with the key, and you'll be good to go.

I'd opt for the 1 hr. stock replacement option.

Most electric fuel pumps are designed to push fuel so you'd want to mount the pump on the frame rail back near the tank. Wire in a manual safety shut-off switch in the cab as well. Use something big and easy to hit when you're upside down.

Where? Where? Where? I recently had to replace my fuel pump because I couldn't find a rebuild kit.
