[Mg-t] Solid State Fuel Pump

[John Seim]

I recommend Airtex fuel pump, part no. E-8016S. Low pressure. Also sold 
under the Masters, Federal-Mogul, and other names.
Cylindrical pump, comes with a mounting bracket. Remove a bolt for the 
right rear shock absorber, and instantly install. Has two wires,
so positive or negative ground cars will have no problem. Sold under 
the Masters name at Autozone. Under $50.00. QUIET!

Pull out the choke, which will enrichen the mixture. Won't solve 
vaporizing the fuel in the float bowls, but will keep it from 
vaporizing as it passes by the muffler.
