Listers,

=20

I was out for a long drive in the mountains this afternoon and on an =
uphill grade, the car lost power and as I pulled over on a pull off, the =
engine died.  I sat in the car for a couple of minutes trying to restart =
it.  I waited until traffic was past me and turned the key but did not =
hear the ticking of the fuel pump.  I waited several minutes, tried =
again but no luck.

=20

I called AAA and they picked me and the car up for the ride home.  At =
home, off the flatbed, still no ticking.  So, I am thinking the fuel =
pump is dead.

=20

Looking at the Moss site, they list an early and a late BJ8 pump.  The =
Moss tech couldn't tell me which I am.  My car number is 29009.  Am I an =
early or late pump?  Also, if I switch to the double ended pump, do both =
ends work at the same time or is one end a backup for the other end?  If =
one end failed would the other end provide fuel in the normal manner and =
save me?

=20

Should I simply go with whichever single pump is for my car and then =
install a backup pump?=20

=20

Just as an important aside, AAA said covid regulations prohibited me =
from riding in the tow truck cab with the driver.  I was somewhat amazed =
at this but AAA offered to transfer me to the nearest car rental place =
as a service.  I made my call but my ride didn't arrive before the truck =
driver (she was in the middle of a haircut so you know where that got =
me).  The driver was very nice about the whole thing and did allow me in =
the cab with him (I wore my mask).

=20

I will start investigating the source of the pump problem tomorrow.

=20

Thanks for all input on this one,

=20

Fred=20

66 BJ8 (new or late)
