What about the fuel pump? do you have to change anything there?

No Mark, but a good clean or new set of points would be advised, as changing the polarity causes the pit that forms in the one contact to start forming in the other contact. A new set of points aren't expensive and easy enough to fit, thats what I'd do anyway you could get away with a good clean though

I changed the points on my fuel pump, and to be honest it was a bit of a disaster. The pump hasn't worked since. :(
