<p>Thanks for all the input.</p>
<p>Given the age of the new ones I have (gosh knows how long ago I
bought them). Woulld there be any markins on them that would tell
me if they are AC or not. Says made in Canada. There is a stamping
of "AC10") on them.</p>
<p>Just trying to figure out what I'm dealing with.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

This may be beating a dead horse, but....<br>
When you select the repo pump on the TRF site it says the original
AC pump is supplied. Therefore, the repo in this case is not a
repo at all but the original AC pump.

have restored a TR3 each year for the past 10 years

keep the car long enough to say if it lasted, but I
have a lot of faith in Albert Runyan a tTRF when he
says the quality is reflected in the price.
Provided the lever is not worn, these pumps are easy
to rebuild and the kit is not expensive, so this is
the route I normally go.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

if the cam lever is inserted with the wrong

Hard to imagine if the lever is inserted
correctly. Might be worth it to double check
that the reinstalled pump has its lever the
right way. The long flat surface on the lever
should bear against the cam.<o:p></o:p></p>

reproduction pump on his TR2 a few
years ago, added after the engine
was rebuilt under the assumption
that newer is better. One day not
too many thousands of miles later,
the car started, but would not stay
running more than a few seconds.
After some diagnosis, the pump was
removed and the arm that rides on
the camshaft was discovered to be
worn down to the point where the
lobe on the camshaft could no longer
move the arm. He dug the original
pump out of a box in the basement,
reinstalled it, and has been trouble
free ever since (at least with
respect to fuel pumps)*. I'm not
sure if Moss is selling that exact
pump, but I think that the axiom
"you get what you pay for" may be in
play here.<o:p></o:p></p>
