Jim - is it safe to assume the fuel pump that quit was also a negative ground
unit, on the positive ground car?
If so, then the troubleshooting is at the end. If not, there may still be an
issue somewhere....

car is positive ground. the distributor had a module for neg gnd in it.
petronix technician could not believe it worked as long as it did. my old
fuel pump works fine on his car and it is a pos gnd. not sure exactly what
did happen, but i know that on joel goldberg's BT7 we put a new battery in and
found out later the posts were in wrong. they gave us a new one but no damage
was done as nothing was solid state. i am staying away from solid state units,
they scare me. putting this one back to a points system so that i can fix it
when it breaks.
