Something like 6 or 7 years ago I decided I wanted to put an electric fuel pump under the floorboard of my last 356. Bought one from Stoddard, and never installed it. Being an originality freak, I just wanted to use the fuel pump for filling the carburetors after the car had been sitting for a while and the gas had evaporated out. Also, because of originality concerns, I did not want any wires or switches to show- none! After searching for quite a while, I was able to find a wireless (remote controlled) switch that was powered at the switch by 6 volts. The particular one I bought came with a couple of key fobs to activate/deactivate the solenoid. This would allow me to install the fuel pump below the passenger footboard, run unseen wires, and install the switch under the floorboard with it. All I would have to do is click the button on the remote, which I figured I could keep in the glove box (not on my key chain). Dug the stuff out today and wired it up and guess what? It all worked as planned! Be sure to click on "Previous" at the page bottom to see lots of previous Blog pages!
