Indeed! Blimey! I remember fitting a rebuild kit at the roadside to a knackered mechanical pump on my mate's H-reg 3500. Very many moons ago! My first bit of wrenching that wasn't on a bicycle. I managed it in about a hour without too much trouble. Satisfying when you're on your way again.a bit expensive!
Is that the right lever for the rover? I think it should be noticably shorter from memory. They are common on GM vehicles with the changes normally limited to the valve sizes and the outer lever/cam follower. A new GM /AC Delco pump will be much much cheaper. You can fit a diaphram and valve kit without removing pump if engine is out (you do need some space) and they are quite cheap at normal auto parts stores.
I got a electric fuel pump kit from Wadhams about 4 years years ago , easy enough to fit and works perfectly.Hi well I’ve now had some time to decide where I’m going with this.
I’m sticking to the electric pump and fitting a filter king regulator some new floats for the carbs, using a qgauge to set the pressure,and an inertia switch as a safety.
keeping the set up with no return to the petrol tank as my car is completely missing one.
any views input would be appreciated
thanks Paul
