Sorry to bomb the list, but can anyone tell me how to run the radio in my 1966 B in an accessory mode so the fuel pump doesn't run constantly? I would assume that can't be good to have it pumping wit

You would just need to run it off an "always hot" power source, rather than a switched one. This might be as simple as switching a wire at the fuse box. However, your fuel pump shouldn't run more tha

It could be one of those cheap aftermarket fuel pumps like a Purolator. They click all the time. But a good SU fuel pump should stop after a few seconds unless the fuel is leaking somewhere or the fl

Most American cars and some Imports have a second "ON" position, often the far side of the ignition ON, especially for the radio, etc. Neither my Mini nor my MG have this feature, so I just ran a wir

I wonder if the Purolator is used because its cheap and it works on positive ground? I don't see where the Purolator will have any effect on the CD besides adding an annoying noise to the mix. My so

Some of the newer OEM radios allow you to run the radio with the ignition off. (They usually have a one hour time out, to avoid running the battery down.) Maybe you can get this feature in the afterm

But I've always heard that you can burn out your ignition coil, if it's energized with the engine not running. (Maybe an old wive's tale?) And, is it really a good idea to have fuel pressure without

Sure glad you never had the guts. You would lose, big time. There is another observation though. It is the vapor from the fuel that burns, the mixture of fuel and air in suspension. Liquid fuel by it
