If your so inclined this can be done to any car. You will probably
need an adjustable inline fuel pressure regulator ( probably also
avail at Pep Boys) to be sure you don't flood the carbs. Be careful,
you may save some money but I installed one of those so called
"universal" pumps on my mother-in-laws old rusty Honda and the
thing now sounds like a helicopter when the engine is at idle. That
pump is noisy and unpleasant. How about installing the original
pump and also installing a cheap backup pump in-line with a
switch, should the original quite somewhere in tim-buck-to.

Ok here I go agian......
I looked under the car at the fuel pump. Looks like a hose comes
from the tank to the pump and from the pump to the carb. I looked in
the book and it says that the pump is a low pressure pump. So can I
just place a universal fuel pump (24$ at Pep Boys) in the place of
the punp? (with diffrent hookups for the fuel line of corse)
Anyone see any prob with doing this? I have talked to 2 people who
did this to there cars (not MG's) and they claim it works just fine.
Seems like it should work, plus if it ever dies I can get one right
away and not have to order one in. Any thoughts?
