Question
My air pump stopped working years ago and since then have been trying to configure my vacume system to accomidate the change. Can you make any suggestions to a solution to simplify the vacume system, ie. carb settings or modifications to ignition system?

Thanks

Answer
back when i had a MGB i took the air pump off. it did not run any better. i am sorry to say i would rather see you get a Hemmings Motor News.. in the English parts area, you can buy a rebuilt air pump.just put it back on.you won't be able to do anything with the carb. i have owned cars from the air pump era and the porsche 911's even had them.i try to put my cars that i restore back to factory specs. when you bought it brand new it satisfied you and ran pretty sweet? you get the picture.sorry for not so good news .
