It reminds me of the British cars I used to own that when you turned the ignition on you hear tick tick tick tick of the fuel pump until the fuel pressure was up. A stubborn one would require a tap of a screwdriver or small hammer. I can't remember if that was Lucas or not but I don't miss that noise in modern cars. It does however make me reflect on the cars I owned in the 60's and 70's......nostalgia is setting in
Was that fuel pump a Lucas or SU or did the latter make carbs. only?
