My preferred way to do this is to wire a momentary pushbutton between a 
fuse box terminal which gets switched off with the key and the output 
terminal of the fuel pump relay. I just use a little switch from Radio Shack 
and mount it on a small scrap of alum sheet that I attached under one of the 
bolts that holds the steering column to the firewall (or something under there.

To run the pump, I have to turn the key ON and then reach under the dash 
and push the button. I can hold it as long as I like and it is interesting to hear 
the pump run and the air bubble up thru the gas tank. When the bubbling 
stops I start the engine.
