Jeff,
I kind of got lost in all this electric pump, shut offs, wreck your car
options, etc. Exactly why is it that you want to go electric and add all the
parts and expense. If you go new it cost more, old you get suspect parts.
What exactly is wrong with taking two bolts out of the old pump and bolting
in the new (not rebuilt) unit? In 15 minutes you are on the road. I can see
a conversion turning into another case of shipwrights.
Am I missing something here?
While I have nothing against electric (my Morris Minor 1000 had one) I
have only replaced the mechanical pump on my GT6 once and that was after
120K miles. Why complicate your life with another box of fuses;-) Wouldn't
you rather spend your time driving than re-engineering the fuel delivery
system.
Drive on,

Subject: electric fuel pump
Howdy all,
Hey, how the heck will I install the fuel pump if I put it on the
GT6? I understand I'll just have to run some wires around, but I'm not sure
what the wires will be or anything. Does anyone know where I can find this
info? Will it come with the pump? And the kill switches-I can just go to a
junkyard and find them, right? Well, what do they look like, all that
stuff.
Yeah, I usually do have this many questions when I'm doing
something new. :) I just want to make sure I don't screw anything up. And
if I do, I'll need to know how to fix it! :) Also, Victoria British sells a
copper fuel line kit for the GT6 for $50. Think this would be a good idea
right now?
Many, many thanx to all and I hope to see something that I can help
with. If someone would have a problem with thier igntion system, I know
those things inside and out...(hey, when you put a _whole new_ igntion in,
you learn something...). Again, thanx.
