Hi,

Well, through a friend I found out about Specialty Foreign Auto in
McKinleyville. He put a fuel pressure gauge on the engine and we drove
up a hill to see the fuel pressure drop. Humboldt Import Parts ordered
it fro mthe Bay Area at 3:30 pm and it was in by 8:30 am. I got a
rebuilt - but the one on the van was an after-market German pump
(P____), and had different connectors so we switched those out. It seems
better but the test will be driving up the Oregon coast today! It is odd
that the pump that seems to have failed was put on in May by the
previous owner, buy maybe he pulled it from a junkyard. At any rate, the
two companies listed above are great, very helpful and smart!

Also, if I can find an old pump I'll be able to send it back for the
exchange.  (couldn't take the aftermarket one). Gave me the box just in
case.

PS Thanks for all the email help - I just couldn't access email until I
found this Kinkos - the KOA boasted dialup access and lurred me in - but
they had a block on the line unless one is with aol. I have tscnet.com
which merged with sinclair.net and have national dialup numbers. I got a
couple of great phone calls too.
