[Mgs] Market opportunity

[Dan DiBiase]

I put in a generic electric pump in my '76 when my pump failed a couple of years 
ago. As long as you get the correct model
(i.e., PSI) then it's an easy conversion and works well. Just looks strange when 
compared to the original....

Just a question from a lurker:  What about converting the point-based pump
to an electronic-based unit?  I remember Mark Evans did that on the "MG is
Reborn" series, and was thinking about that same conversion for my '71.

Very ingenious.

But what I think is funny is that my somewhat facetious suggestion has
generated a long thread of real-world "solutions".

It would seem that the real marketing opportunity would be for someone to
provide a standard configuration fuel pump that operated reliably.
