I removed the old dirty fuel line and have (mostly) refitted a new one. The engine end is done. The run to the back end is in place, to the axle arch, anyway, but not yet connected to the tank. I still need to re-flush the tank and fashion a connection to the original fitting. A length of 5/16" copper pipe from Ace Hardware did the trick! Pictures later... -rick ______________________________________________ Mg-t@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive From mg-t-bounces@autox.team.net Sat Mar 7 07:18:55 2015 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mharc@autox.team.net Received: from autox.team.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id E56A6258504A for ; Sat, 7 Mar 2015 07:18:54 -0700 (MST) Delivered-To: mg-t@autox.team.net Received: from mail-pa0-f42.google.com (mail-pa0-f42.google.com [209.85.220.42]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8B99F2580A1C for ; Sat, 7 Mar 2015 07:00:27 -0700 (MST) Received: by padfa1 with SMTP id fa1so59304167pad.9 for ; Sat, 07 Mar 2015 06:06:02 -0800 (PST) s=20120113; h=date:subject:message-id:importance:from:to:mime-version :content-type; bh=aswGG5WKLqlqOxPMlcifnQUvkWD/9lDwb1GCDpxiSPk=; b=ySGfsSdpiLDyBCRIy/FK5Kp7neQCItevLkDxQhE1Tg7QP5vzwtQd1uZO36FyqBqMk9 Ir6SFaPUi4z59IjhVG98xCxrp6UdDk/zO2t9uKTv711cRZh/qD6BN1zqH947QF03HzGG m09jZ5OyRFbhauEwzzrmR6QnEubJyZBzPIVQ9Rw4DgCpmAVJBSB4mLjtf1az0z73t7Aw Z7JPzsbhK5kva71p3cXELtZy4ITxCLUd/A5ajXkvfgU6BK7AuzQO8H7qKUpjIG7vwwmm xC3rfQrwUvRlEtuyrQeqoDSOG46Pn/+vCHp+fvKXppcJkd5MJWRTQNKTr+1GUjxytXcg 9kMg== fg2mr35212456pbb.118.1425737162731; Sat, 07 Mar 2015 06:06:02 -0800 (PST) Received: from [192.168.1.76] (107-192-135-76.lightspeed.hstntx.sbcglobal.net.

First up is the removal of the original, rebuilt and refailed fuel pump, in favor of a modern electric pump. The old pump, it's mounting hardware and fitting are safely stored. I made a mounting bracket so the new pump could mount without new holes or changes to the original mounting location. Changing the pump included changing the plumbing. The fuel line was loaded with crud so it too has been replaced. Well, that's work-in-progress. A fuel filter is now at the pump's input. But the biggest modification is the change to a Weber DGV carburetor. Gasp! Blasphemy! Well, I had the kit in hand and the SUs are full of fuel tank and fuel line debris - the same kind of debris that probably caused the death of the SU pump. Rest assured that all these original parts will be rebuilt and returned to the car, as time permits. Well, except for the fuel line. But for now, the old boy will soon be back running. -rick Happy Connecting.

The aftermarket pump has no overheating issues. Original pump needs a rebuild kit. I rebuilt it using the old parts and it ran until the clogged up. The aftermarket pump was on the shelf.
