<VV> Current mechanical fuel pumps

[MarK Durham]

When I bought my last pump 3 years ago, I took it apart first thing
and made sure the poppets were securely in place. It's ran perfect so
far, up untl I sold the car, but I did buy a spare and put it in the
trunk. They are quick and easy to change on the road.
