[Healeys] Napa fuel pump

[Darin Graber]

I have just installed a Facet pump in series with my SU pump. The SU pump is great and that’s what I primarily run on, however in the summertime I’ve found that if I run the Facet pump l, the vapor lock issue on these big Healeys tends to disappear. It also puts a second pump in place already so on the side of the road if you have one go, you can easily switch over to the other pump which is already installed.

I agree with Tom. If the car currently has an SU pump & it fails (after decades of reliable service) why replace it with an aftermarket pump and have to deal with mounting modifications, fuel line routing & connection modifications, etc. when it is so much easier to replace it with another SU pump. If your concern is reliability on a road trip a spare SU can be installed if needed in a short amount of time. Or as I have done, install & plumb a 2nd pump & switch so I can alternate between them on a long trip.

Aren't other questions: mounting and connections?
I'll admit I installed a second SU pump on a bracket I made for two SU pumps, because of interchangeability and it seemed easier in the long run.

They probably are along with many others--the only question is whether they are reliable.

Just curious….. I notice that the specs for the SU pump are about 3 psi and a minimum of 15 GPH (not GPM)…. So why are not pumps like this one from Amazon suitable?
