they can and replace it with something that works reliably<
If you stretch that logic a bit we would all be reading toyota/honda/mazda
postings. Why stop at fuel pumps? My brother has a real nice GM electronic
ignition/distributor drop in for Big Healeys. Fires off immediately, low
steady idle, no fouled spark plugs, no melted points on Ohio to Florida
runs..........NO FUN. Half the excitement of driving an LBC is wondering if
you'll make it home.
The pump on my Morris is readily accessible so I plan to keep waking it with
a wrench. The XK120 (should it ever actually make to the road again) will
have the best variable pressure pump limited resources can buy. What does it
matter as long as you aren't making modifications with a torch and a sheet
metal saw? I don't understand why you wouldn't bodge it if it makes it run
better and longer.
Of course I also don't understand why MG and Triumph folk would argue which
is better since every one knows these are Marques you own only if you can't
afford a Jaguar.
