[Healeys] Polarity

The original pumps had a capacitor over the points which made them dual 
polarity. At a later stage SU changed the capacitor for a diode which 
made the pump polarity sensitive. If you remove the diode and fit a 
transil over the points the pump becomes dual polarity.

The very early pumps with the single points may not have had any 
capacitor or diode fitted, which would lead to spark erosion of the 
points. These were also dual polarity.

The later electronic/solid state versions are all polarity sensitive.
