[Healeys] SU Fuel Pump Repair

[Bob Spidell]

I've wondered that myself. Theoretically, yes, they would help suppress arcing across the points. However, I believe the capacitor ('condenser') in points system also affects timing. 

Short answer: don't know. It would actually be pretty easy to test, though; just replace the condenser with a transil.

Would these work across distributor points?

Bi-polarity transils work as well, if not better, than diodes or caps. This guy sells them pre-wired with terminals (transils are just a few cents, but for the money these are worth it IMO):

The rest of the electrics--points, etc.--are not polarity sensitive (we are talking points-type and not SS-type, right?).

I've got three fuel pumps left over after selling the car. Two need to be 
rebuilt. Does anyone know if there is a kit for rebuilding the electrics 
that ignores polarity and if so, who has them?
