Re: Re:[T3] looking for fuel pump for '69 1600 with carbs

<x-charset iso-8859-1>The matter is not whether or not there is a difference in the pump
pressure - the matter is that the T1 pump I'm using rubs against the
condensor on the dizzy.  Its a later-style fuel pump where the inlet and
outlet points almost directly at 9 o'clock, hence the hoses rub agaist the
dizzy and it makes it difficult to advance the timing to 7.5° BTDC
