Piersburg/Hella pump from any Advanced Auto Parts here on the east coast under $100 with a lifetime warranty. Basically a direct fit (you got to change terminals to screw lugs (provided) from spade, just you crimp). Ron sells the same part for about $125 last I saw if you care to go that way, but no lifetime warranty. Hell I'll mail anyone one if they send me the money. Have had one in the '85 for about 1.5 years, running fine. Of course I've not checked the price recently, but I doubt it has changed. John vwbus@mindspring.com |
