It may be a good choice to run two identical SU pumps in parallel all 
the time, no change over switch. That way the points on both pumps will 
remain clean and it is very unlikely that both pumps will fail at the 
same time. The alternative is not to forget to change from one pump to 
the other regularly to keep the points operational..

                    many people replace an original SU pump that has
                    lasted decades with an aftermarket pump that
                    requires modifying the fuel lines, adding additional

                    brackets (all additional sources of failures),
                    vibrates continuously, etc, when it would be so much
                    easier &amp; more original to simply replace it with
                    a new highly reliable SU fuel pump? If you are
                    concerned about being stranded at the side of the
                    road, carry a spare SU or even better install it in
                    parallel &amp; wire up a selector switch so you can
                    switch between the two pumps.
