I’m still running the original YF in my ‘76 CJ-5. I went to California last summer and got 21MPG on the way there.
If you go off-road, why couldn’t you run the electric pump AND the mechanical fuel pump, along with that cut-off switch; if the switch accidentally kicked off, the mechanical would act as a backup.
They were still using the YF in 1976? (I assume your jeep had the four banger flathead.)
My experience with a YF was on a 1947 Willys Overland wagon.
I'm not worried about myself. I'm going to power the pumps through the ignition switch RUN position, with two cut-offs. One will be a prominent manual switch, within easy reach, and a relay off the oil pressure switch. Manual switch because it's faster than the ignition switch ... and provides theft prevention. Oil pressure relay in case I'm unable to cut the manual and ignition switch.)
Mostly, I'm looking for ways to make things safer for other people.
