He also told me if you let them cavitate they will damage
themselves. My personal expierence is the MSD pump over heats in
seconds to the point of burning your fingers if you let it cavitate.
No doubt in my mind that it will eventually destroy itself.

I would speculate that the load on the pump during cavitation is
equivalent to running the pump on a dry tank. I'd think the pumps would
have a stated lifetime during that condition (wouldn't be a good thing
to require changing the pump if the driver ran out of gas).

People tell me if you run out of gas two or three times in a
Pontiac Feraro(s?) you have to change the pump.
