Thanks Joe, I might check that out - even if for my 240.
OK - Boneyard fuel pump is installed with new crush washers, the car starts and runs VERY well again. Now, I lost my gauge - but that's probably part of my wiring in the trunk. Otherwise, I'll be concerned.
But, the car runs well, no gas leaks - I'm happy for another day. $35 on the pump.

The commutators in the motor wear down with time, eventually the connection gets poor enough on some plates that the motor can stick there and quit running. When my pump failed the motor still ran but it wasn't pumping. I tore it apart and found the nubs on the armature that drive the impeller had broken off but the commutator had a deep groove worn in it by the brushes, it was just about to fail that way.
