Sound like you had your first bad experience. I for one would replace all the electric fuel pumps with one good mechanical pump back in the engine .. aftermarket pumps do a fine job and much safer.

The Euro and US motors are exactly the same ... I have both and see no difference.

If the carb is the factory auto lite I would replace it with an new style Holley preferably a 750cfm and I personally prefer vac secondaries.

On top of which metal fuel line and a metal fuel filter rather then glass or plastic is always the safest bet. The less rubber hose the better.

Thank you for the advice Ron, now I have no idea what you mean by Vac secondaries, I shall google it, I have asked my son to go to Chino Hills for a new mechanical pump and fitting, I will ask also for the Holley 750cfm.

whilst here there, he lives in Los Angelese so I'm pretty lucky in that way. sorry for my lack of knowledge!
