[TR] Non-Triumph question about Lotus Europa

[Dixie4]

There were two engines fitted to The Lotus Europa .
The single cam was a Renault 16 engine.
The twin cam being Ford based.
Therefore the mechanical fuel pump is a universal British Ford fitment made 
in the millions.
It was fitted to all OHV Pre crosflow and cross flow engines 1100, 1200, 
1300,1600cc from the late 50's until early 80's.
The cars it was fitted to are Anglia, Cortina Mk 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Capri Mk 1, 
2, 3, Escort Mk1, 2, Fiesta  and Mk3 Escort (ohv only),
Plenty of models to choose from, many exported to US sometimes under 
different model names.
Early ones had a glass fuel chamber, later ones tin. Some with push 
connections some screw type. If you have trouble locating one I could source 
one here in UK. Although I do not think you will have much trouble locating 
one in the US if you know what you are looking for.
The Triumph pump will not fit.
