Woo-Hoo! I've had this car 3 years and this is the first time I've got it to pull more than 3000rpm.

I've rerouted the fuel line away from the exhaust, sent the Autopulse fuel pump to the US for specialist rebuild, stripped the carb and replaced the hockey sticks, cleaned the emulsion tubes etc. I've had 3 (modern) coils fail and I've had the divers helmet apart and reset several times - in all fairness to the old divers helmet design, I did order a rebuilt unit from Bubba but it went AWOL in the mail; that would probably have solved the problem.

But with the electronic and a Pertronix coil it sounds like a V8 and pulls like a V8. Now I can stop worrying about the motor and fix all the other stuff!

Who is doing the fuel pump rebuild, please?
