List,

I have to admit that I have not read the digest in a while and I know that
the answers to my questions may be in the archives that I do not know how to
read ...

I have a 73 European MKIV (1300, dual SUs) that is hard to start and has a
bad drive shaft u-joint.

1. I want to convert to an electric fuel pump. Which brand and model of pump
and external pressure regulator should I go for? I am running dual SUs
(stock) on a 1300 but want to go to a 6 cylinder with triple 40 Webber side
drafts eventually - and would love to keep the fuel pump I am about to buy.
As I am located in Germany right now and will be in the U.S. for two weeks
only, I need some standard off-the-shelf unit that is easy to get so I can
take it home in my carry-on.

2. My rear left u-joint is going. I have heard of (and seen) BMW 323 rear
end conversions with real CV-joints. Are there kits out there to convert to
CV-joints or do need to fabricate these driveshafts and adapters myself?

Thanks,
Marcus
