Okay? How is it compared to stock?
Haha! I knew I forgot to add something to that message.
-Much better hole shot- not that your car suffers much from that much anyways, since first gear is so short.
-Zippier revving in neutral (almost sounds like a motorcycle).
-I have noticed no discernible difference in coasting abilities on the highway (less flywheel inertia), or any added difficulty in slipping the clutch when accelerating from a dead stop, or when shifting gears.
All that being said, the best bang for the buck I got out of the car was having the distributor rebuilt, and in particular, having the vacuum advance springs recurved. It made the engine really come to life, and feel new.
I'm looking at spare fuel pumps and the ones I see all have 5/16 fittings on them and I think my car still has the banjo bolts. Am I stuck paying $150 for an SU?
edit: I went with the plastic-bodied ECCO as an emergency spare. Victoria British has it for $30 less than Moss. ----> http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=109230&SortOrder=1
If you want to hack off the banjo fittings, you can run whatever sort of
low pressure (3-5 PSI) fuel pump you want under there. Mine had a dodgy pump (someone had cut the lines on my car and put in a solid state pump before I bought the car), and I replaced it with a Mr. Gasket pump from O'reillys. It's been under there for five years, no problems.
