The pump I used on my BJ8 was the one recommended by Moss Motors for a
positive grounded car. The pump was listed for an MGC. The Moss
number was 377-245. When I opened the carton an information sheet
inside described the red tape on the body as indicative of a positive
grounded instrument. All I can tell you is what I read on the
information from Moss. Need I say more????
