[Healeys] Fuel Pump Points

[Bob Spidell]

At the least, you can remove the pump body (the solenoid and circuitry section). Disconnect the power feed and ground terminals, and unscrew the six cheesehead screws around the flange that attach the body to the pump head, then you can install the points and transil and adjust on the bench. If you're careful separating the body from the head you should be able to reuse the diaphragm gasket. 

You have to break the pump at the body/head anyway so that you can unscrew the diaphragm to install and adjust the new points. I have a doc from Dave Dubois on how to disassemble, adjust and reassemble the pump, but I'm not at home so it would be a couple days before I could send it to you.

Subject: [Healeys] Fuel Pump Points 

I have an original type fuel pump on my BJ8 that I want to change the points 
on and add a transil to it (I may want to convert to negative ground in the 
near future and the pump functions fine now). Do I have to remove the entire 
unit from the vehicle or can I just pull the electrical parts off and leave 
the body in place?
