If it aint broke, Dont fix it.
If you do fit an eleccy pump, fit a £1 filter BEFORE the pump, to stop the crap that gets in the tank from FUBAR'ing your new pump. It helps
making it all reliable.
Also for carbs you want a low pressure pump. NOT an injection pump (if getting from a scrappy)
Facet are nice pumps. I use one on my Webber 500 Carb
Also fit a Inertia switch from an injected car. Then switch the pump with a relay, and put the inertia switch in the control (relay coil) wire to the
relay (not the power feed).
The if you have an accident, it should switch the pump off.
Get one from a scrappy 95 Fiesta its in the passenger footwell under a hole in the sidewall behind the trim.
plastic unit with 3 wires and a red button in the top and a rattly ball bearing inside.
Orientate in the same plane as fitted in the Fiesta so you get the inertia reactions set properly.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
