How can you even suggest that an 'original' Alpine fuel pump - in it's propah place - could be anything less than 'elegant'?
Even if it had had triple by-pass surgery!
(Where are you hiding your (electrical) 'pacemaker'? - in the trunk maybe?)
Just as a BTW - some time back I installed a new (rebuilt) fuel pump in the 'black beauty'. It pumped so damned hard it would keep pumping even after shut-down and eventually pushed gas through the carb gaskets - dripping on hot exhaust manifold. I had to install an adjustable after-market pressure regulator in the line to the carbs to stop this from happening. It worked.
