Ok so

So in todays builds they aren't really used if/since you have a fuel gage in the dash other than building a period looking/functional build.

I want my build to be as close to a true 427SC that I can, for prosperity/traditional purposes. So here is my thought:

Since I am running a carb set up I only need one pick-up line coming out of the gas tank to feed the mechanical pump at the block. Since I don't need a return line back into the tank could I use that return tube to feed the SW electricals? Assuming the return line goes to the bottom of the tank. Or did the origionals have an additional line running out of the tank somewhere (i imagine at the bottom) specifically to feed the SW?

I probably would never use the SW pumps unless I foolishly let the gas gauge reach EMPTY. So if I never use them is there any damage by never using them? i guess I could purge them every now-and-then...

Your thoughts?
