Personally, I do not believe plumbing in series in the best option. The
requires  the operating pump to have to overcome the pressure drop either by
sucking thru or discharging thru the non-operating pump. I do not know how
much pressure drop that is, but it will result in lower fuel pressure/volume
at the carbs. Also, it one pump becomes plugged for some reason like dirt in
the in pump filter the other pump won't work either.

electronic neg. ground pumpsB  with a fuel filter between tank and pumps and
a
gas filter just before the carbs?..........I already have all these
components
..........Does anyone have a diagram of this set-up with wiring instructions
etc.......so I could run one or the other...........this would cure fuel pump
issues (I hope)
