Hi Chris,
You want a low pressure facet fuel pump, they aren't very expensive... usuall around £30-40
This is pretty much the one that I am using

All carb engines will run off a low pressure pump pretty much!

as a warning, on the solid state pumps like the one above, they are designed for pushing fuel as apposed to sucking so mount it close to the tank not in the engine bay.

hmmm interesting,
mine was in the engine bay,
do you think it would be a good idea to relocate my new one then. to sort of around the tank area.
cheers

might as well, plenty of room under there with the tank
only said it as a good friend of the family, who happens to run a parts shop and has built (and won in) several rally cars, he advised me that the pumps like that are no good at sucking fuel over a great distance, might be on the pickup that it was close enough not to matter where as on the normal SJ's the tank is as far away from the engine as can be
