[Turk]

This time the blame crosses all boundaries.
It wasn't the Turks who forgot to put gas in his car. or the English with their faulty gauges, it was the Americans with their damn Holley mechanical fuel pump.

Today I got the new pump from Summit, a Carter. Got under the car and pulled the old pump out. The spring, the retainer that holds the lever and few other odds and ends were all mangled. The pump had self destructed!

Ironic part of it, the way my engeine is built it uses all kinds of 30-35 year old parts. What broke? One of the few brand new parts I had installed!!

If I had known that I would have pulled a 35 year old fuel pump from one of the junk yards, instead of a brand new shinny chrome plated Holley!

Thanks for all the support. I'll give the mechanical pumps one more try before we electrify the system.
