[TR] [6pack] TR6 fuel pump recommendations?

[Bob Wanderer]

 Hi Joe,
FWIW, my 1974 TR6 came with a fuel pump w/o the priming lever.  No problems
with it in the 38 months I've owned it (with over 17,000 miles driven in
that time).  Of course, now that I've said that....

Regards,
BobW

Hi Joe,
Previous owner installed the "Made in Italy" lever pump that I believe is
the one TRF sells.
I don't have the install date however the pump has been fine for 3 years of
my driving.
Regards,
Bob.
