Reseaching the archives and finding some great material! http://gerry.vanagon.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0801B&L=vanagon&P=R667 Including an exciting trip to a mine. The van is an '84 - used to have a 1.9l engine but it was upgraded to a 2.1l. I notice on Ken Wilford's page that there are different pumps. I know I had a water pump put into the old engine as it came with the van when I bought it in 2001. So now I'm wondering if this is a different pump and do I need to call them to ask. Hmmm.
