David Terry's Journal

I had found the original 36 year old SU fuel pump that the PO had replaced some years (decades ago) in a bucket of parts. It was in two pieces. I sent it off to Dave DuBois to work his magic and who returned a work of art.

Installation was very straightforward and took only about an hour, including preparation and clean-up. After blocking the front tires, I jacked the rear up on placed the car on stands. The PO had made a mounting bracked that placed the facet in the same location as the SU. Once removed, all I had to do was install the rubber mounting grommet, connect the fuel lines and then apply electricity. To keep fuel from bathing my eyes I wore eye protection and used hemostats to limit fuel seepage from the open fuel lines.

While the Facet worked flawlessly and without criticism, I am very happy with how this project went and how well my Dave DuBois fuel pump is operating.

PostScript: the SU worked for about six months and then proceeded to dump the contents of my fuel tank all over the street. At that point, I replaced the SU with a Hardi purchased from Basil Adams and have been gong strong since then.
