<div>I use the square metal Facet as my one and only pump but keep a spare in the trunk (along with lots of other spares!). I also turn off the pump and pull the power wire to the coil when turning the engine to adjust the valves. No sense running raw fuel
down the cylinders—or burning out the Petronix module (one of the spares I carry along with an extra Lucas Sport Coil as I’ve had the Pertronix coil fail on me). <br>

Chicago, where we lived. His solution was to install a manual shut off valve in the fuel line. The valve was hidden behind the drivers seat & operated by a "T" shaped handle which was removable. His theory was that if someone broke in thru the canvas top &
hot wired the ignition, they would only get a block or 2 before the engine would die. The crook would panic & run away.</span></p>
