The number that most aftermarket folks would pull off the shelf would be
111-115-107BKHD (some call 'em BHD's) with 30mm gears, which optionally
fits the Air Cooled 1600 72-79.  Remember, the standard pump
(111-115-107BK) is OE on 72-79 1600s as well as all wassers.

I run an BK pump on mine, plenty of pressure after 60k miles.  For the
wasser, I feel the BKHD pump is overkill.  Too much pressure can just
"wash" over the bearing surfaces, not sticking around long enough to
provide proper lubrication IMHO.  I've blown up a couple of oil filters
with the BKHD on Bugs when starting cold and revving it up right away
(stupid thing to do in my younger fool-hardy moments, I know).

However, if you're building a dragstrip or hi-po engine, running separate
finned oil coolers and such, then the BKHD may be desirable.

I imagine the price for one is around $25, give or take.
