I started to do the headlight relay conversion last night
but got side tracked when I turned the key on for a minute
and smelled fuel. It turned out the were *3* fuel leaks in
the engine compartment. One of them right next to the
distributor. Acck!
As it turned out, ALL the hose clamps were extremely loose.
the rubber hoses themselves looked to be in good shape,so
I just tightened all the clamps and it seems O.K. now.

So while I was at it I noticed that the fuel pump runs
continuously anytime the key is on.  Is that normal?
I don't like it very much...

Most cars I'm familiar with the pump only runs for a few
seconds when the key is first turned on, then shuts off
unless the engine is running.

What's normal for these things? Should the pump really
be running anytime the key is on?
I sure hope my Bentley manual gets here next week...
Ohhh yeah, it's an '86 if that matters.

Thanks,
Steve
