Bill,
I just installed a NAPA P60504 on my very early '61 MKII. Several Listers
recommended it. It cost $56.25 I have only had it on a little while, so I
can't attest for longevity, but so far, my Sprite runs great and it is
considerably quieter than the one I had on it before.
Bill

Subject: Electric Fuel pump
It appears that my new fuel pump (< 1 year old) has a crack in the pumping
arm and the old fuel pump on the engine is shot. I was thinking of
converting
to an electric fuel pump or maybe trying to transplant the guts (that sounds
like a recipe for disaster :-)) of the new and old pump. If I go the
electric route where should this pump be mounted. I figure it is supposed
to be close to the tank. I have a bit of reluctance about drilling a couple
of holes into the car body underneath. Sounds like a way to help my car
rust.
I would also think that the pump getting covered in road grime and water is
not the best environment for the pump. So where do you add an electric fuel
pump and what are my options? If I add the pump I will have to add a cut
off
switch. I am really going to try to make one good pump from two bust ones
but if that fails I might go electric.
