Electronic Conversion on an SU Fuel Pump?

[Russ_S]

I want to switch my AH 3000 to an electronic pump since it sometimes sits for months and I don't want to deal with sticking points anymore. My pump is relatively new so I was wondering about one of the SU electronic conversion kits, anyone use one and how well do they work? Thanks!

I attempted to install a coupe of Burlen's kits a few years ago. One worked, one didn't. Dave DuBois, who is no longer with us, developed and fitted his own design. I think he said his return rate was about 5%. Electronics seem to work until they don't. There's no banging on the pump to make it work long enough to get home.

Folks would ask why I had a lump of a granite rock on the rear floorboard of my MGB. I always told 'em it was for a wheel chock... that rock got me to the end of Alligator Alley once when the points in the fuel pump acted th' goat half-way across. No amount of whackin' the bulkhead would have done that with a transistor powered pump.
