You are correct in pointing out that I was overly
restrictive. I have never seen a Lucas electric
fuel pump though I have worked on dozens of
British cars and have stacks of repair manuals
and have checked today with a number of
professional repair dues who also tell me that
they have never seen a "Lucas" electric fuel
pump. Lucas does seem to have marketed SU fuel
pumps to Europe under the Lucas brand but
otherwise, I cannot find any reference at any
time to an honest Lucas electric fuel pump.
This conversation started out on the overall
reliability of Lucas electrics and someone stated
that the fuel pump on an MGA fouled up. That
would have been an SU fuel pump. Let us stay focused.
