Hi Randall, If you, or anyone else is interested, I have a spare new S.U.
Stag fuel pump, which had an electronic conversion to get rid of the points.
There is nothing wrong with it at all, it is simply surplus to my
requirements because it doesn't work correctly on my Vitesse with it's 'swan
neck' fuel
tank exit pipe.
If you are interested, please feel free to make me an offer...
I can supply photos and other details.
Best Regards
Lion
