Re: [tech] Transfer Pump

For the record, the switch was during January, 1984 production of the 1984
model year, which lasted through to the end of July 1984.  So the only
really "iffy" month would be January production - early January would be
old tank, late January would be new tank (theoretically.)  Because the new
tanks do not physically fit on the old chassis, when the new chassis
started rolling through, so did the new tanks (and exhausts etc.)
