Thanks, Austin. You are correct, of course, in
pointing out that I was not properly specific.
The TR5 was never imported to the US: here it
was the TR250 and had an SU pump. And I have
worked on dozens of TR6's and they all had SU
pumps. Go figure. Maybe all of these mysterious
Lucas electric fuel pumps ended up in
Boston? They certanly never made it outside of
Massachussets. Again, none of my repair manuals
make any reference to any sort of Lucas electric fuel pump.
