Isn't fuel pressure an issue with facet pumps?
I had a facet pump on a bugeye about 35 years ago. Absolute pain in the SUs. I
rebuilt everything before I finally kicked that new facet pump (which was the
actual cause of all my fuel delivery issues) to the kerb...
Bit the bullet. Bought an SU pump.
Never had an issue again.
I learnt my lesson. I have twin SU pumps on my triple webered BJ8.
Never had a fuel issue.
