I've heard the same thing from other people ... basically many regulators
don't work well with very low pressure drops across the regulator. So IMO,
you should either use a pump that produces the pressure you need (the little
"clicker" Facet has worked very well for me without a regulator); or a pump
that produces substantially more pressure than you need, combined with a
regulator to drop the pressure.
I agree an electric pump makes a worthwhile spare to carry on long trips.
Easy to make a roadside conversion if your original pump fails, and also
potentially handy for transferring fuel if need be. But I wouldn't convert
just to "improve" the car. I've driven a lot of miles in various Triumphs,
and only electric pumps have failed so badly I couldn't limp home (or to a
gas station). The mechanical fuel pump is just one of the many ways a TR3
is better than a MGA, IMO.
