fuel pump along with the usual.  What it  doesn't do is sit there  
cranking, 
coughing, and sputtering to  reluctant awakening from a coma.   

Well Darn,
Go  Figure.  MY 3B will roar to life with a quick punch as well  if I  have 
been running her daily and it's not below freezing where just a  little  
choke 
may be required.  Stock starter, points ignition,  mechanical fuel  pump 
with all the original stuff.  OK, if it  has been sitting for  a month or 
so a 
squirt of starting fluid may be  required just  cause I am too lazy to use 
the 
AC fuel pump priming  lever.

I agree.  My 2 will roar to life  after less than 1/2 revolution from the 
stock starter.  That's using the  same points, condenser, rotor and wires for 
the last two years.  I want  to know how a modern "mod" will improve on my 
reliability.
