Packard V8--From what I have seen/fixed GM used resistors and Mopar used the resistive wire, and that resistive wire on the Mopars liked to fail.

An electric pump for priming is good, saves the battery. Some that have gone over to electronic ignition have learned the hard way what happens when you crank the starter for too long a period to pull fuel to the carb--the voltage drops below what the Petronics unit needs and the car still won't start, the electric pump gets the fuel up there and saves the battery from needless drain.
