Re: [tech] Transfer Pump

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

jsut to add some more potentially useful info to this. In '84 there was a 6 
month gap when they went to the bigger tank that has its own pump. A pump 
from a later '84 or newer will not work. This also applies to Cabriolets. 
Although I dont know the exact production dates; I can get them for those 
interested.
