Mark, I installed a generic pump last year in my '76B and it has worked fine.
You just need to make sure that you get a pump
that supplies the right pressure - I want to say it is around 3.5 PSI that you
need, and the pump I bought handled from 2.5 to 4.0 PSI.
There is a higher-pressure one as well, so just check that. I bought mine at
AutoZone. Here is a picture of it installed -

I want to say it was around $40.

Subject: [Mgs] '80 MGB: Faulty coil and fuel pump
I wrote in a couple weeks ago asking about getting my 1980 MGB back on
the road. My father is here and we started some trouble shooting this
morning.
Problem #1: there is no charge coming from the coil to the plugs, but
there is power going to the coil. Fortunately, I have an extra coil in
my "box of parts", so we're going to swap that in and see if that
addresses that problem.
Problem #2: the fuel pump isn't pumping. There is power getting to the
fuel pump. I'd love to get a new pump sooner than later, to install it
while I have some help. Any suggestions for an aftermarket fuel pump
that I could buy at a local shop (Pep Boys, AutoZone, etc.) rather than
wait for mail order?
Thanks!
- Mark
