Other opinions may vary.
1. REMOVE the mechanical fuel pump and blank off. The ME fuel pump has a push rod/ lever arm drive...so just removing the diapragm won't be much good.
2. Electric fuel pumps are great...I have a number of cars with them....
3. Filter before the pump is SMART.
4. Dead man rollover or other safety device is MANDATORY!
5. Fuel pressure regulator is a good idea as well.

-add- so much a pain in *** -wallet$, I cut-in a trap door in bed of my GMC pickup for direct access.
As in the other FI thread ... DO also retrofit a rollover inertia pump cut-off switch ... you might use one from an escort
I KNOW they work as I used to slap driver side quarter of my pal's escort wagon ... immediately shuts off ... what fun!
Not so loaded, Just like having a full bowl after sitting a few days... gas that is.
with a a few pumps on the gas pedal to set the choke and a few cranks it should fire off. if not there are other problems you need to fix first. seems to many people are spoiled by new cars and forget what a driving a old car is all about.

It's used on many Ford through the 90's-F150- Taurus- Mustang- T-Bird
Here's a diagram-
Wire the relay in the storage compartment- along with an inertial fuel shut-off- then right from the battery (via the relay) to the fuel pump in the back.. Then just run a wire from the fusebox connected to the ignition terminal. You do not want to wire it to accessory-ignition source (radio/wipers) as the the pump could run when the car is not running in accessory position. Some will recommend an oil pressure shut -off as well. When the engine isn't running (no oil pressure) the pump will be off.
