vapour lock problem solved 444-544

Pumping agains a head may be an issue for the old pump, i.e. cracking the needle valve open that first time, due to a leaky check valve. That, coupled with a plugged vent in the HIF could have caused some real issues.

Will be interested to know what sort of pressure your pump can produse and hold. That could be tested w/o mounting to the car as it would only take a couple manual strokes of the pump lever, a piece of tubing and a pressure gauge.

Mike!
