[Healeys] Fuel Pump Points

[Bob Spidell]

I should add you won't be able to test the pump on the bench--at least to confirm that it pumps air--but if everything is adjusted properly it should work.

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.
