I prefer the pump that looks like a cube. It comes with all sorts of brand
names on it, even no name. Facet was one of the names.

Don't get them from Moss, but try J.C. Whitney where I got mine. Every once
in a while Moss comes up with an outrageous price for something that can be
gotten for a fraction of the price  locally. NAPA no loner carries them,
but I"m sure the ones they do carry are just as good.

Not knowing how dependable the fuel pump that came with my cars I added a
second square pump to each car. They are controlled by a sing pole double
throw switch with a center off. That way you can chose either pump or
neither to let the carbs run dry when storing the car. Radio Shack has a
nice one with a red bat handle to differentiate from the fog and driving
light switch.

Coming home from a MG2008 my car died. After a brief check I determined my
old SU had died, so a simple switch got me started again. When I got home I
replaced the old SU with another cube pump..

It is a belt and suspenders approach, but it came in handy.
