Do not carry an SU pump with points in the boot as a spare.  When you will
need it it will not work in most cases as the points have corroded by then.
Easy to remedy but it is not a straight swap, you will have to clean the
points first. For a spare you can use the electronic version.

However it is not really necessary to carry a spare. A bit f 1000 grade
wet&dry in the tool kit will do because when the pump is faltering it is
nearly always due to dirty, corroded or pitted points which can be addressed
to at the road side.


For any original SU pump the rule is to clean, polish and check/adjust the
points using a bit of flower paper or 1000 grade wet&dry every year. That
way it will last a lifetime. Other components rarely give trouble in a
regularly driven car.

You will get lots of suggestions. Mine is to replace your SU with an SU.
SU's are very reliable (either correctly restored or a new one), they fit
without having to modify the mounting bracketry and the fuel line fittings
(that can be a big deal). You can carry a spare SU in the boot if you are
worried about a road side failure. The spare will fit without modification.
Or you can plumb in a second SU in parallel with the original so that if the
original fails all you need to do is switch to the spare. New SU's are
available with improved electronics that will result in low maintenance,
trouble free operation for a long time. If your SU is still operating that
means it is nearly 50 years old. Not bad!

Hello everyone,
I am planning on finishing my 1959 100-6 BN4 this summer.  Bought in 1969
when I was 16, restored but now real well.I was young and just learning.
I need some ideas on what electric fuel pump to use to replace my SU pump.
Thanks,
Rusty Lesher
