So Jack where is this pump available?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
Price seems a little low for what it offers.
It would cost more to ship it than what it costs!
Specs and size are similar to a pump I purchased at Advanced Auto, that is, except for price. AA one was like $30.00.

Is this a Facet(sp?) pump from one of the aircraft suppliers?

Oh sorry, that is an outfit called AutoPulse, Cass City Mi and yep they will sell one.

I pulled one from my Bugeye, still works, was made 6/75.

Autopulse... isn't that the name of an old type of fuel pump. I remember them being used on old John Deere lawn tractors.

output pressure is too high, you'd want a regulator, but at $3 that's a steal.

Trevor, based on the web page, it could have been, and that is why "nothing reuns like a deer". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Output pressure available at 4 lbs which may not be perfect but would work if carbs were in good shape.

I had a holley pressure regulator set to 5 lbs when I first got my car, and it the carbs held fine. I eventually switched to a lower pressure pump, so I do not know how long the carbs would have continued to hold.

Quote from David DuBois on mgcars bbs:

"I am the type that wants the original pump in our cars, but that is just me, if originality is not a big thing for you, then go with the cheaper, after market pump (just don't go with the Auto Pulse or MoProd pump that is made in New Zealand. It is a good pump, but it is made of plastic and develops cracks around the inlet and outlet ports over time)"

Could not agree more Trevor, I just though it was intresting that the fuel pump still worked, the company was still in business, and still selling pumps for 3 bucks.
