Thanks Tim. As my car is set up now, the MSD CD box and the fuel pump are both "switched" (thru Bosch 40amp relay) through same toggle on dash, separate from ignition starting switch. (I did this for safety as my car has locking steering column- if I ever need to cut fuel/ignition, but keep steering....I can). But as it's set up now, if I kill the pump, I kill the MSD box too.
By the way, I want to compliment your write up on 48 IDA Webers on your website. I have spent the evening tonight finishing up what I couldn't read at work yesterday, then I re-read the whole thing. It is well written and probably the best explanation of what it takes to tune a 48 I've read, anywhere. I learned what I know from a lot of trial and error and from my grumpy ex boss, but there were a lot of holes that needed to be filled in. I've had 48's on my car since 1991 on various displacements and all kinds of state of tune and only in the last 18 months or so, have begun to unravel more than "just getting them close" (finally- emulsion tubes started to make some sense to me in 2012). Your write up, in the hour or so I've read it, clarified much more than my old boss, or any book has to date. Nice, nice work.
