The best way to go for the inertia switch is to just get a Ford unit from  
the scrap yard as indicated by Dawson & Son in their "Sprite Safety PDF".

The oil pressure switch idea is intriguing. More convienent would be a 
sense/relay circuit that 
triggers off of the low side of the ignition coil.

What I would really like is an electric fuel pump that is quiet.   It believe 
Carter makes a
rotary vane pump, but it seems sort of an overkill for a Spridget. I'm not even 
sure if they are
less noisy than the pulse units.

I remember a long time ago I saw in one of the surplus catalogs a nice little 
OEM rotary fuel
pump that would have been ideal for the Sprite.  I kick myself for not buying 
one or two when I had the 
chance. 

Still worried as to how many folks are running the original fuel line between 
there SU's  
It's like a couple hundred powder kegs just waiting to go off...
