MG MGB Technical - facet fuel pumps

hi
79 mgb
i found the discussion on facet fuel pumps of interest!!
which 'cube' low pressure do you recommend, by number.
i googled facet. there are a lot of pumps. i could choose one that would be ok but i would like to get the recommendation from a user.
thanks
john
p.s. i am in need of a pump now.

If you go this route, always carry a spare pump. Facets are noted for dying suddenly and unexpectedly (no one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition!). OTOH, I do not have the number for mine, although I do recall that at least one of them says Purolator on it and came from the local autoparts store.

Purolator Pozi Flow Por 04SV it says Facet on the pump. or go to Partsamerica.com click on fuel pumps or type in Universal fuel pump. There are 2 you want the low pressure one.

I just installed the $40 cheap carb pump jobbie from Advanced Auto Parts (aka: www.partsamerica.com) and it has worked for at least my initial startup.

It's fairly loud, more of a whine versus the OE pump's tick.

For the price though, this was definitely worth it.

John - If you go to http://homepages.donobi.net/sufuelpumps/Fuel_Pumps/Back_up_Fuel_Pump.pdf
there are part numbers there for the low pressure pumps. whatever you get, it should have an output pressure of not more than 4 psi. Cheers - Dave
