Back when I ran into the same sort of problem with both an Alfetta and a
GTV-6 I dismantled the switch, cleaned the contacts, and put it back
together. As an energency backup I carried a jumper wire with the proper
ends to plug into the wires leading to the switch in case of failure at
an inconvenient time.

From: Steve Cole <[email protected]> Subject: [alfa] inertia switch
The cylindrical gray inertia switch in my 1977 Alfetta GT has failed. It
no longer will pass current to the fuel pump and I've had to wire around
it to keep running. I bought a replacement from a junker and it is just
as bad. Is there anything that can be done to rehabilitate it or is
there a suitable alternative switch available? I doubt there is anything
Alfa-specific about it; it is simply mounted to the firewall with two
wires attached. Do all cars with electric fuel pumps have a similar
device? Does anyone know a suitable substitution? Steve Cole 1977
