I actually bought a pair of the cheap Chinese pumps.  One on the Land =
Rover
and the other on previous TR3.  Still keep one in the drawer for =
emergency.
Have never had one fail.   The ones I bought are the cylinder style and =
are
relatively quiet.

Most folks here like the Facet pump, have that too on a Willys-Overland
Jeepster but it would be too loud on a TR3.

Location on a TR3: I mounted on onto the plate that holds the Armstrong
lever shock, just changed the bolt out for a longer one.  This puts it
completely out of the way and directly in line with the existing system
under the tank.

I have heard good and bad about the possibility of leaving the old pump =
'in
situ' and running the fuel line through it so it looks natural.  Pro is =
that
it looks good; Con is, so I have heard, if the seals fail on the old AC =
pump
you will get petrol running into the oil.

Hope this helps,

Am thinking my stock fuel pump issue maybe cam lobe wear and/or fuel =
pump
lever issue.  Decided to add an electric low pressure fuel pump instead =
of
using stock one to fix my fuel issue.  Lots of cheap Chinese pumps on
amazon.  Any recommendations on fuel pump used and location of install?
Thanks in advance,
