The impresion i get is that all things being perfect it should be ok but it might stuggle at high speeds or under hard acceleration.Its not hard to
fit an electric pump and regulator during the build but could be much more work later.Look on Ebay theres usually several pumps on sale and they only
make about half their retail value,performance ford and classic ford mags are also a good source.

No problem unless you are intending to produce 140bhp +

Sounds like fuel surge --- the harpin at "Jolly Knockers" is a worst case scenario

yeah could well have been, though once it cut out, it would take 20 secs o churning to get it going, so reckon its more a fuel starvation problem
