Nice day so we went to the wine country in the Healey. Bought a dozen bottles of wine. On the way home the fuel pump stops (that will sober you up fast). OK, no problem, I carry a spare. Unload the wine from the boot and all the other junk I carry there. Pull out the spare fuel pump from under the battery. Bolt it on and fuel spills from the top AND and bottom gaskets. Remove wheel again, remove fuel pump again and take points from new pump and install on the original pump. So, if I hadn't had the spare, I wouldn't have had parts.
While we were on the side of the road, nice people in a 50's Rolls Royce stopped. No help there and they didn't even have any Grey Poupon. A couple in a Sprite came by and waited till we got going and followed us home, some 70 miles. Fortunately they live 3 miles away at Lake Tahoe. Small world or what?
So now I know I have to repair the previously, professionally rebuilt pump before out trek to Bent OR.
