John,
Your question prompted me to send a post to the list I have wanted to
send for a week or so. I had asked for advice on what type electric fuel
pump to replace my "stock" one with. I received lots of good advice only
to find many of my local vendors had to order the pumps like I wanted
(low pressure). When calling around for prices and availability I found
a local store in Lansing, MI - Giant Auto - had a pump that worked great
and was very inexpensive. It is an Airtex brand - model #E8016S. It has
a pressure rating of 2 to 4 psi and only cost $26.99. The pump came with
a filter attached to the input end of it. It was the small metal type
filter that screw directly into some carb inputs. I believe they said it
is the same as a Ford Escort. It works good as it screws right into the
pump so it is one solid piece so I didn't have to worry about vibration,
etc. If your pump has a threaded end on it you can probably do the same
thing. I saw a big display of similar ones at the auto zone store.
With this pumps being so cheap I am definately going to pick up a spare
next time I'm near the store again.

Is it possible (maybe even easy) to put a fuel filter before the pump on
an mgb (1975)? The previous owner has warned me that he went through a
few fuel pumps and he suspects it may be do to junk in the tank, which a
fuel filter before the pump might solve.
