Just a question from a lurker: What about converting the point-based pump
to an electronic-based unit? I remember Mark Evans did that on the "MG is
Reborn" series, and was thinking about that same conversion for my '71.

But what I think is funny is that my somewhat facetious suggestion has
generated a long thread of real-world "solutions".
It would seem that the real marketing opportunity would be for someone to
provide a standard configuration fuel pump that operated reliably.
