I have been running one of the Walbro fuel pumps for years with no
problems. I bought the adjustable pressure pump to use on my stock Tiger
and it sounds and works just like the original pump.
I also put that Walbro pump in the trunk like the MKII, plus I added
a pre-filter and a fuel shut off valve. I never liked having the fuel pump
over the muffler; especially those few times I had to tickle the points on
the pump while driving.

Subject: Fuel Pumps...
I now have one of the modern solid state fuel pumps on my car. It runs
virtually all the time and I don't like it. The old style suited me better.
With that in mind I found one in JC Whitney made by Walbro, they make EFI
pumps also and good ones at that, that is for carbed cars. It looks a lot
like the old SU units that originally came on our LBCs. Fixed pressure at 4
1/2 to 7 psi. Anybody using one of the units? If not what can I get that
only pumps on demand? Says it has a 32 gph flow rate (enough for about 330
hp at 80% duty cycle). SInce my car is bone stock cept for headers, this
should work should it not? Comments? Directions, gripes, experiences?
mayf,
