<VV> Losing faith in mechanical fuel pumps

[Bob Bauer]

Guys  I am listening with sympathy, but I have used exclusively mechanical pumps 
for the last 24 years and still do.  I have only replaced two in that time.  I 
have 5 Corvairs and all have mechanical pumps and all work just fine.   I wish 
we could find a cause/cure for this problem and get it fixed so those that 
wanted mechanical pumps/stay stock as it were, could do so without fear of 
failing all the time.  Lets hope for the best.

I have had the same electric pump on my corvair for 10 years with no problems, 
no mechanical pumps for me, if I did how would I have the pretty, plated plug at 
the back of my engine compartment
