MG MGB Technical - Fuel Pump

!977 MGB, North American model. The existing fuel pump is a Dupree model 12v-840, looks a lot like the SU fuel pumps. I would like to purchase a new set of points for this pump, anybody know anything about these pumps, will the SU parts fit?

Thanks

Gary - I am not familiar with the Dupree pumps, but since some of the other SU clones are in fact all elcetronic or use magnetic reed switches to control the pumps, I would have to ask if you have looked under the end cover to see if the pumps in fact has points. If so and you can send me a picture of the points, showing as much as possible of both the upper and lower portion of the points, I can probably tell you if standard SU points might work for you. I am on a dial up server, so please edit your pictures so that they are no more than 8 inches in the largest diminsion otherwise it will take all day for them to download. Cheers - Dave
