Mike,
Thanks for the research. Just to clarify my previous usage of "round".
I use the Posi-flo types. (The ones I was calling "round").
The gold-flo is the "posh" version. (The ones most call "round").
The older square bodied pumps (not on the web page shared) are loudest are
probably being phased out in favor of the Posi-flo.
Looks like great weekend conditions for driving in the Golden Gate area !!

Thanks to all who contributed to my fuel pump post. I have dug into the web
pages with the data provided and have come up with some information. While
some folks are using the higher pressure Facet pump (4-7 PSI) with success,
it appears that the lower pressure version at 1.5-4 PSI is the more
appropriate for our cars. While the pressure is less, the flow rate is more
than sufficient. Facet/Purolator actually has an application chart on their
website that lists Austin - Austin Healy (sic). In most of the posts on
this subject NAPA part numbers are shared. I think it will be helpful to
know the Facet/Purolator brand product part number as this will be a
constant throughout retailers. The recommended part numbers are FEP 42SV
for the Facet cube style, and FEP 04SV for the POSI-FLO style unit. The
Purolator labeled pumps use numbers PRO 42SV and PRO 04SV respectively.
You can learn about the products and see the application chart at their
site:

It appears that the pumps are available at Advance Auto Parts and PEP Boys
in addition to NAPA.
