I chuckled at "Not sure what MOWOG is ...", that has led to some 
arguments over the years, like what 'MG' stands for ...

"Baby windshield washer bottle ... that might last 2 or 3 pumps ..." He 
should try it 😂  Is that the original place for the pump on a NA 
70-72?  Funnily enough it's where I mounted mine (UK 73) when I 
converted from the push-pump.

IS the fuel pump bad?  If the reason the car cut out was the ignition 
switch (apparently other electrical stuff stopped working at the same 
time) then the carb float chambers will still be full so when you power 
the pump you may get one click but that's all. Maybe he was expecting it 
to whirr, and begs the question (plus many other misconceptions about 
the car) as to whether this was the best place to send it.
