I forgot to mention in my last post to be careful with the check valve that is directly attched to the top plate. Whoops, I just remembered that it is not directly attched to the top plate in the non-vanagon diesel. Anyway, this is a caution directed to the old smokies, if you crack or break the connection between the metal top plate and the check valve...its not replaceable..you have to get a hold of another complete pump. Or jury rig an inline check valve from a golf/rabbit/jetta diesel and somehow connect the line to the little circular flange on the top plate. Excuse the rambling Alistair
