I got tired of the start and go problems of the fuel pump with points. I
therefor went to a magnetic set up installed by Burlen at
https://su-rebuilders.com/.
They installed the pointless system in mine some 2 to 3 years ago and I
have no problem with it since. They are extremely hard to set up but they
can do an excellent job. After which DO NOT mess with it.

Fred, the BJ7/BJ8 parts manual shows that a pump with a square body was use=
d from Phase 1 to chassis number 28224 in Phase 2.=C2=A0 After that, the pu=
mp had a cylindrical body.=C2=A0 Your car should have the late pump.<br>
<br>
I installed a backup fuel pump in my BJ8 to prepare for the cross-county tr=
ip to Lake Tahoe in 2002, using a generic Autozone electric pump as the bac=
kup.=C2=A0 I have no experience with the double-ended pump.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
During my post-Conclave tour last September, I broke off from the tour grou=
p to motor into Montana alone.=C2=A0 My backup pump (I typically drive outb=
ound on the SU and home on the backup) failed just as I got into Montana.=
=C2=A0 Once I realized why the car suddenly failed to respond to the accele=
rator, I switched to the SU and kept going.=C2=A0 I found an identical back=
up pump at an Autozone in Minot, ND and had it installed in about 20 minute=
s.=C2=A0 Installing a backup generic pump in series with the SU is pretty s=
imple.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 It requires cutting one of the fuel hard lines, but I h=
ad already done that anyway to put an in-line filter in it under the right =
rear seat.=C2=A0 The switch is under the dash.=C2=A0 I have had to use the =
switch a few times, and it is a comfort to know the option of another pump =
is there.<br>

I would serious consider rebuilding the fuel pump. It is easy and cheap. Tr=
y pounding on the vertical wall under the rear seat and it should start (te=
mporarily) If not, check the wiring. I carry a spare (rebuilt) pump. With t=
he dual pump you need to install a switch to switch form one pump to the ot=
her. It is not automatic.<br>

Since these pumps were not original to Healeys there is no correct way to<b=

you wired the power/switch.=C2=A0 You can choose between a SPDT ("On-O=

no switch at all) where both motors run simultaneously.=C2=A0 In the first =

the "backup plan" would only happen were you to switch from a non=

load is theoretically shared all the time by both motors and if one craps<b=

out the other simply does all the work.<br>
<br>
FWIW I have the SPDT version mounted inconspicuously through the rear<br>
bulkhead behind the driver;s seat so it can be reached while driving.<br>

For those folks on the real time list rather than the digest, each and <br>
every list message has a few web links at the bottom. One such link is <br>
labeled "Unsubscribe/Manage".? This link, which for some reason i=
s not <br>
available to digest members, is personalized for every user.? If one <br>
clicks on it, assuming your email program is web aware, it takes you <br>
right to a web page where you can do things like change your <br>
subscription from one address to another.? Fairly simple and <br>
straightforward, when people use it it reduces the time I have to put <br>
into Team Net maintenance.? And thanks to mailing list management <br>
software, the time I need to spend on list work is a lot less than it <br>
was back 20 - 25 years ago.? No more 15 - 20 hours a week keeping the <br>
bits flowing, thank goodness!<br>

Anyway, John, I made the change, you should be set.<br>

Most likely an SU AUF301/303/305 pump is fitted as original, the <br>
Burlen/SU AZX1308 is the equivalent modern replacement. It is very <br>
unlikely that the pump is scrap. These pumps are imminently rebuildable. <b=
r>
Probably the points are dirty/burned/worn and need replacement. A <br>
problem that arises when the car is used sparingly. Replacing the points <b=
r>
is a simple operation that can be done in about an hour at home using <br>
basic tools and some feeler gauges..<br>
<br>
If a double ended pump is used both ends work simultaneously. If one end <b=
r>
stops the other end will continue more or less as a back up. This is a <br>
bit of a problem as you will not normally notice one end stopping.<br>
<br>
Even with a new SU pump you often encounter that it does not work <br>
initially and that you have to remove the cap to clean the points using <br=
>
some flower paper.<br>
<br>
There are electronic versions but apparently reliability is said to be <br>
an issue.<br>
