if you were to fit a electronic dizzy and pointless fuel pump then a mk1 would be very reliable
I had to think about this one for a bit. I was wondering why on earth a fuel pump would be pointless to fit...
the original SU fuel pump uses points ti activate it but you can buy a electronic PC board to replace the points
Didnt know that, worth considering!
Assume it comes as just the board that you replace the points with rather than a whole pump?
Having said that I put an electronic distributor into my Mk1, lasted a couple of years then failed. Whipped it out and put the original dizzy back in along with a new set of points and condensor and it been going fine ever since. Sometimes original is best?
