I agree. I have only had a fuel pump go bad once. That was on a 71BGT and
after 15 years of my driving with over half as a daily driver on a 100
mile daily commute. Never once did I have to do anything with it or its
fittings or connections. When it died, it just stopped working so that the
car just didn't run one morning. I attempted to replace the diaphragm and
the points but I still could not get the pump to work so I bought a new one
from Moss. Now the pump, as well as most of the other running parts of my
71BGT, are powering my 72B.
