Getting the engine of a Bristol 410 running for the first time in seven years

Yours should be electric fuel pump

Don't worry about it kelvin. The fuel pump is located in the boot on the right hand side. I pretty sure the facet pump will do the job. Ah interesting GREG. Mine must have been one of the last to be produced.

Kind regards

I see you've already got a Facet replacement, but if you still have the SU pump, they are simple to overhaul (so simple even I managed it) so that may be worth doing so you have a spare. Burlen Fuel Systems in Salisbury sell overhaul kits - you'll need two for a double pump.

My 410 (a late 1969 car) also has the pump in the boot, but I don't know if it was originally there or not. It was comprehensively restored in the early 1990s.

Having read all the reply's to this post it makes me wonder if an electric fuel pump was ever original equipment on 408s and 409s . The parts diagram indicates not. My 411 mk 2 has a mechanical pump { standard Chrysler }fitted to the engine , makes you wonder !!!!!

411 S5 also has the mechanical pump. Had to have it replaced last year.
Why install an electric pump, when the mechanical ones work?
Less parts that can fail.
