My '74 had this problem a couple of years ago.
One day it got so bad I had to drive all of the way home
(10 miles) with my hand through the battery compartment opening
tapping the pump all of the way home. What ever it is that
causes this, I highly recommend that you either fix or replace
your pump before it gets that bad. Because even though this is
a cool story to tell your friends, it really isn't as fun as it might
sound. :)
