[Rovernet] Rovernet Digest, Vol 129, Issue 6

Tue Apr 30 14:15:40 EDT 2024

For my money....or my clients' for that matter I ALWAYS recommend the
original pump....WITH POINTS.  Why with points?? Cuz when they give
difficulties they are remediable at the side of the road. Right now. With
the electronic units if someone for example, connects jumper cables
backwards the electronics will fry in .0005 seconds. And there's NO fixing
THAT problem!!! With points you can always carry a spare set and there are
some tricks for coaxing them back to life at the side of the road. Same
story with electronic ignitions....when THEY go bad there's NOTHING you can
do to rescue yourself except carrying points & condenser, etc. as spares.
IMPO....after 55 years with Rover!!

*Thank you for your enquiry for our parts and services. We offer the
highest-quality spare parts for the vintage Land -Rover. Our staff is
minuscule while the demand for rare and “unobtainable” parts for early
Land-Rovers is relentless. While your concern is important to us, our
ability to respond to each and every enquiry may be limited and stocks of
many items are critically low.. We are primarily a restoration-based
enterprise but when we have a surplus of a given  item, we are able to
offer excess stocks to our dedicated clients. If your need is urgent, we
encourage you to contact us by phone, in person. Leaving a message is
rarely effective, so we recommend direct contact. With many buildings full
of parts, it is not always easy to locate obscure items, and the process is
often time consuming. We hope you understand. Please
provide complete details of your exact model including year, wheelbase,
which side drive, engine, Country of origin, etc. When giving part numbers,
please also state the catalogue number (typically found on the front
cover).  We appreciate your understanding and will do all we can to help.*
