A couple hours work tonight finished off the last bit of engineering I needed to do -- installing the new electric fuel pump. For a variety of reasons I decided to switch to an electric pump, mounted at the back of the car near the tank.
This required figuring out what pump to use, and thanks to the good folks here I chose a Carter pump that should put out the low pressure I need for the Sprite. Next up was getting brave enough to drill a hole in the car for mounting the pump. I did wind up drilling the first hole incorrectly, as I didn't realize the panel I was drilling into (rear bulkhead behind the seats) was a boxed in. I had figured I would drill all the way through, so I sized the hole for a bolt. Turns out that panel is the first panel in a boxed in section, so I needed a smaller hole for a screw. Woops!
A fresh hole was then drilled, and the pump mounted using a bit of bike inner tube as an isolator. All that's left is to wire it up, and that part of fuel system will be ready to go.
Next up, installing ancillary engine bits!
