It worked as I described above, primary/secondary. Perhaps THAT is not period correct for the 30 or so original Comp cars?
It works like I said. Take a look at any original car's twin pumps. The lines are simply teed together. They both run at the same time.

S/Cs had the mechanical and electric for sure. Comp cars might have just run the electrics all the time. Never looked into that really.
