Cure for an obsession: get another one.

I have one early fuel pump after a repair.  I bought a second one (NOS) and today found this third, also NOS, fuel pump today.  I'm on the fence about buying it...but I'm compelled to do so.

I also found two NOS distributors that I should be receiving in a few weeks.  That'll put me up to four ZV JCU 4R3 distributors, two of which are NOS.  I think this just goes to show that the parts are out there once I figure out where to look.

I found a NOS left door seal and a second NOS rear hatch seal, along with a windshield seal.  I'm guardedly optimistic about the windshield seal but I hope that it's in excellent condition...the NOS seals fit better than the repops out there currently.

I'm done with ignition columns and finally pared down the collection to a reasonable quantity...so it's only fitting, I guess, that I move on to distributors and fuel pumps.  I'll get the distributors down to three (I'll sell the T34 specific unit eventually).  Actually, I'll probably get everything to threes-one for each engine and a spare.

This, of course, means that it's time to sell off some parts.


The first pump arrived back at the house today after a trip to sunny Southern California for a rebuild and clean up.  The lever is now new, properly greased and the pump is ready for action.
