Listers - two nice side benefits of an electric fuel pump: 1) you can hide a
off/on toggle switch "somewhere" where only you can find it thus it becomes
an anti-theft device and 2) if you do have to lay the car up over the Winter
or for an extended period, you turn the switch off and let the car run until
it shuts down, thus purging the system of gas which could gum up your bowls
and carbs over the Winter.

Subject: Re: SV: Plus 4 fuel pump plate
Thanks for the suggestion, I might try somthing like that which would make
it appear original. However I have two motives in mind. One is an electric
pump will work better and two, I would like to eliminate the potential oil
leak that the mechanical pump currently provides.
Thanks again.
