Some -- but the worst was when I installed a current shunt in
series with the battery to the fuse block. There was an easy place to
mount it -- a shelf on the right side just in front of the firewall. (I
was using some aircraft instruments as displays, plus a 24-hour wind-up
aircraft clock on a secondary panel -- removable so a passenger could
fit in the seat.

It was fine until I hit a vigorous bump, and the bonnet (US
hood) prop rod fell down and shorted the load side of the shunt to
ground. That stopped the car rather rapidly. :-)

That's your fault, Don. You should have had the shunt in the ground side.

As for SU fuel pumps, they were designed to save fuel. The car on the side
of theroad uses none....
