Do you mean direct? Hope not!
I would use a seperate fused supply switched by a relay connected to the ignition (out) terminal of the ignition switch.

Robby,
You would be well advised to get a manual from Sierra (assuming that's yor donor) and copying the wiring from that. No disrespect, but it sounds likely you are pretty green with regards to wiring. Using the original wiring schematic and the manufacturer's wiring you can't 'really' go that wrong. Petrol/electrics don't go together too well

Is is advisable to have a "Switch" on the line to the fuel pump.?

As a safety feature no oil pressure = no fuel pumping into carbs, but there is a bypass switch to overide this.
