That's exactly what I did - I got the inertia switch from a Taurus or
sable - they are in the left side of the trunk behind the cardboard
liner. I took a pair of side cutters and a pair of pliers. Cut as
much of the harness as you can get to - you'll be glad to have the
connector and the wires.
I mounted my Facet pump to the blanking plate where the mechanical
fuel pump was - the spacing is nearly identical to the facet pump. I
used some rubber exhaust mounts (look just like vibration isolation
mounts) as I figured they'd handle the heat from the engine - mcmaster
carr has some higher temp ones as well. Since that location is quite
low with respect to the bottom of the fuel tank - it works quite well
- I've run over 2500 miles with this setup - on highway and mountain
inclines.
