[Nobbc] Lucas pump points

[Mike Gianandrea]

Oh boy, this is good stuff. I never had a fuel pump problem in my XK140 drop 
head, but I seem to recall having to pull over every few minutes to tap on 
the pump in my 140 fixed head coupe, that was fun. Also, I have never had a 
problem with the pump in my TR, only a clogged fuel filter bowl once or 
twice. I have NEVER heard my pump click, hard to start and runs a little 
rough until she warms up, but she still runs.
