Just when I thought I had the Moss catalog committed to memory, I found something I hadn't noticed before. The page for 'Fuel Pump late BJ8,' shows a 'union, inlet and outlet' that bolts into the the pump body (page# 35 in my catalog). This appears to be the same as the fitting on our BN2's pump. However, my BJ8's pump, and its original piping (AFAIK), has the earlier, banjo-style fitting (a big, hollow bolt similar to those on the carbs; Moss# 370-350). Anyway, Moss shows the 'BN2' style fitting for cars after 28225; my car is body number 38652 and, as I mentioned, it definitely has the 'earlier' style banjo and bolt. I know there was often some carryover of leftover earlier car parts, but my body number is significantly later (built in November 1966). So, my question is, does anybody with a BJ8 have the 'union' style fitting, instead of the banjo and bolt? Or, is this a goof by Moss? FWIW, my BMC parts book doesn't show either type for BJ8 pumps.
