 So, this brings up the fuel pump question.  Had a noisy solid state one in
 my '80 B.  Don't want that.  Don't remember what I put in my first '66 B to
 replace the Lucas.  But, with SVRA racing just around the corner, anyone
 have any suggestions for reliable good fuel pressure?

Norm,

I have five MGs of various vintage and have given up on SU fuel pumps a long 
time ago.  I use a solid state fuel pump marketed by Purolator and sold a a 
universal electronic fuel pump part # Pro#42S.  It puts out 1 to 4 psi and 
will work fine with SU carbs or a Weber carb.  I even use one on my MGB 
vintage racer with a Weber DCOE45 and it works fine.  Many of the vintage 
racers use this fuel pump.  If your MGB is a roadster, you can mount the pump 
in the boot, with a little modification.  The only must is, the pump in 
negative ground, so your MG if built before 1968 will need to be converted to 
negative ground.

Cheers,

Rod Schweiger
